1 Installation

pip install parsr-client

2 Usage

Make sure that the Parsr Server is already running. Let us suppose that the address is localhost:3001

2.1 Connect to the Parsr server

from parsr_client import ParsrClient
parsr = ParsrClient('localhost:3001')

2.2 Send the document

parsr.send_document(
   file_path='README.pdf',
   config_path='defaultConfig.json'
   document_name='The Readme',
   save_request_id=True)

2.4 Retrieve results

1. Get everything as a JSON:

   parsr.get_json()
   

2. As Markdown:

   parsr.get_markdown()
   

3. As text:

   parsr.get_text()
   

4. Get the first table on the first page:

   parsr.get_table(
       page=1,
       table=1,
   )
   

5. Get all the versions of the document:

   parsr.get_revisions('The Readme')
   

6. Get pretty diffs between each successive pair of a document's revisions:

   parsr.compare_revisions('The Readme', pretty_html=True)
   

3 Interpreting the whole JSON output locally

The supplied ParsrOutputInterpreter class can be used to interpret the downloaded JSON output and generate higher level structures like the text body.

Here's an example to generate text body on the first page from the above example.

from parsr_client import ParsrOutputInterpreter

parsr_interpreter = ParsrOutputInterpreter(
    parsr.get_json()
)

t = parsr_interpreter.get_text(
    page_number=1
)
print(t)
