Figure Extraction

Figure Extraction allows users to extract data from charts and figures in PDF documents.

Key Highlights

Extract raw data from figures effortlessly.
We support the four most common chart types: bar charts (vertical, horizontal, grouped, and stacked), line plots, scatter plots, and pie charts.

Getting started

To apply Figure Extraction to your document, add "figure_extraction": "true" to the data dictionary in requests.post:

Python

response = requests.post(
    api_url,
    files=files,
    data={
        "document_type": "hierarchical_v2",
        "figure_extraction": "true"
    }
)

Important Notes

Please expect throughput and latency increases when using Figure Extraction.
Accuracy is best for charts with the text of the chart embedded into the document (we call these "native" charts).
Feedback is encouraged to improve accuracy and expand the types of charts we support.
