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

# Process an image from URL
result = client.process_image(image_url="https://example.com/image.jpg")

# Process a local image file
with open("image.jpg", "rb") as f:
    content = f.read()
    result = client.process_image(file_content=content, filename="image.jpg")

# 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
