Example usage

import os
from parallex.models.parallex_callable_output import ParallexCallableOutput
from parallex.parallex import parallex

os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "key"
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"] = "your-endpoint.com"
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION"] = "deployment_version"
os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_API_DEPLOYMENT"] = "deployment_name"

model = "gpt-4o"

async def some_operation(file_url: str) -> None:
  response_data: ParallexCallableOutput = await parallex(
    model=model,
    pdf_source_url=file_url,
    post_process_callable=example_post_process, # Optional
    concurrency=2, # Optional
    prompt_text="Turn images into markdown", # Optional
    log_level="ERROR" # Optional
  )
  pages = response_data.pages

def example_post_process(output: ParallexCallableOutput) -> None:
    file_name = output.file_name
    pages = output.pages
    for page in pages:
        markdown_for_page = page.output_content
        pdf_page_number = page.page_number
        

Responses have the following structure;

class ParallexCallableOutput(BaseModel):
    file_name: str = Field(description="Name of file that is processed")
    pdf_source_url: str = Field(description="Given URL of the source of output")
    trace_id: UUID = Field(description="Unique trace for each file")
    pages: list[PageResponse] = Field(description="List of PageResponse objects")

class PageResponse(BaseModel):
    output_content: str = Field(description="Markdown generated for the page")
    page_number: int = Field(description="Page number of the associated PDF")

Default prompt is

"""
    Convert the following PDF page to markdown.
    Return only the markdown with no explanation text.
    Leave out any page numbers and redundant headers or footers.
    Do not include any code blocks (e.g. "```markdown" or "```") in the response.
    If unable to parse, return an empty string.
