While Retab is built around evals, the most basic workflow is extracting structured data from a document. The easiest way to access our APIs is through our python SDK.
Find your API Key in the dashboard settings.

Using the Retab SDK

1

Install the SDK

pip install retab
2

Generate a Schema

from retab import Retab

client = Retab()

schema_response = client.schemas.generate(
    documents=["Invoice.pdf"],
    model="retab-small",
    temperature=0.0,          # keep the generation deterministic
)
3

Extract Data

from retab import Retab

client = Retab()

extraction_response = client.documents.extract(
    json_schema = schema_response.json_schema,
    document = "Invoice.pdf",
    model="retab-small",
    temperature=0
)

print(extraction_response)
Congratulations! You’ve extracted structured data from a document with Retab. Now you can start building evals, deploy processors, automate workflows and more.
