Basic Client Usage

from readpdfs import ReadPDFs

# Initialize the client
client = ReadPDFs(api_key="your_api_key")

# Process a PDF from a URL
result = client.process_pdf(pdf_url="https://example.com/document.pdf")

# Process a local PDF file
result = client.process_pdf(file_path="path/to/local/document.pdf")

# Process from file content
with open("document.pdf", "rb") as f:
    content = f.read()
    result = client.process_pdf(file_content=content, filename="document.pdf")

# Fetch markdown content
markdown = client.fetch_markdown(url="https://api.readpdfs.com/documents/123/markdown")

# Get user documents
documents = client.get_user_documents(clerk_id="user_123")

FastAPI Integration

from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile, HTTPException
from readpdfs import ReadPDFs
from typing import Optional

app = FastAPI()
client = ReadPDFs(api_key="your_api_key")

@app.post("/process-pdf")
async def process_pdf(
    pdf_url: Optional[str] = None,
    file: Optional[UploadFile] = File(None),
    quality: str = "standard"
):
    try:
        if pdf_url and file:
            raise HTTPException(
                status_code=400,
                detail="Provide either pdf_url or file, not both"
            )
            
        if pdf_url:
            result = client.process_pdf(pdf_url=pdf_url, quality=quality)
        elif file:
            content = await file.read()
            result = client.process_pdf(
                file_content=content,
                filename=file.filename,
                quality=quality
            )
        else:
            raise HTTPException(
                status_code=400,
                detail="Either pdf_url or file must be provided"
            )
            
        return result
        
    except Exception as e:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))

This update:
1. Added the new file content processing method
2. Included a complete FastAPI integration example
3. Added API examples using cURL and Python requests
4. Updated the requirements section to include FastAPI-related packages
5. Reorganized the usage section to separate basic client usage from FastAPI integration
