From zero to your first extraction

Choose your path below. You don't need to write any code to start — the dashboard has everything built in.

No coding required. Everything in this path happens inside your browser — no terminal, no code editor, no setup.

Step 1

Create your free account

Sign up with your email and a password. It takes about 30 seconds and no credit card is needed.

Step 2

Create an API key

Once you're logged in, go to your Dashboard and click the API Keys tab. Click New key, give it a name like "My first key", and save it.

Dashboard → API Keys tab
1Click the "API Keys" tab at the top of the dashboard.
2Click the "New key" button.
3Type a name for your key (e.g. "Testing").
4Copy the key that appears — it's only shown once!

The key is only shown once when you create it. Copy it and keep it somewhere safe.

Step 3

Drop a document in the Try It panel

Go to the Try It tab in your dashboard. You'll see a drop zone — drag any document file onto it, or click to browse your files.

🧾Invoice (.pdf, .txt)
📄Contract (.docx, .txt)
📊Report (.csv, .txt)
📧Email (paste the text)

Don't have a document handy? Use the Invoice, Contract, or Receipt sample buttons to load example text instantly.

Step 4

Click Run Extraction

Hit the Run Extraction button. In a second or two, the right side of the panel fills with structured data pulled from your document.

What you'll see

Step 5

Every extraction is automatically saved. Click the Logs tab to see a history of everything you've run — including how long it took and whether it succeeded.
