☁️ GroupDocs.Parser Cloud

Document Parser Cloud API for Text, Images & Metadata

GroupDocs.Parser Cloud is an enterprise-grade REST API for extracting content from documents. Pull text, images, and metadata from Word, PDF, Excel, email, archives, and more — with options for page ranges and formatted output, and no third-party desktop software.

📂 Cloud SDKs & Repositories

SDKs are grouped by platform. Each example extracts text from an entire document using the Extract Text From The Whole Document API. The same call is shown first as plain REST (cURL), then for each SDK.

📡 cURL (REST API)

Call the Parser Cloud REST API directly (no SDK). Obtain a JWT from the token endpoint (client_credentials), then extract text:

# Get JWT (Client Id / Client Secret from https://dashboard.groupdocs.cloud)
curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/connect/token" \
  -X POST \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=$CLIENT_ID&client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

# Extract text from the whole document
curl -v "https://api.groupdocs.cloud/v1.0/parser/text" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
        "FileInfo": {
            "FilePath": "words/docx/document.docx"
        }
      }'
