How to extract text from a PDF in Node.js

Use the Inkspan /v1/extract/text endpoint to extract text from a PDF in Node.js. It runs as a managed API — no headless-browser infrastructure, fonts, or scaling to maintain. Authenticate with your API key and send a single POST request.

Node.js example

const fd = new FormData();
fd.append('file', fs.createReadStream('input.pdf'));
const res = await fetch('https://api.inkspan.dev/v1/extract/text', { method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'ink_live_...' }, body: fd });

Notes

Authentication: pass your key in the X-API-Key header.
Pricing is usage-based; the free tier covers 100 documents/month.
Extraction endpoints return a confidence score so you never ship false-certain data.
