Submit a file or text content for processing using a specific workflow. The process runs asynchronously, and you’ll receive a file UUID to poll for results.

​
Input Methods

You can submit content for processing in two ways:
  1. File Upload - Upload a binary file directly via multipart form data
  2. Text Input - Send plain text for processing
Only one input method can be used per request. Provide either file or text, not both.
The id returned in the response is a file UUID. Use it to poll for results via GET /v2/workflows/{workflow_id}/files/{id}/results/. The endpoint returns 412 while processing and 200 when results are ready.

Response

Successful Response

Response after triggering a workflow run. Contains the collection ID to use for polling extraction results.

​
id
string
required

The collection UUID for this run. Use this ID to poll for results via GET /v2/workflows/{workflow_id}/files/{id}/results/.

Example:

"069dcc2c-e14c-7606-8000-2ee4fb17b4e1"

​
status
string
required

Initial status of the run, typically success (meaning the run was accepted, not that extraction is complete).

Example:

"success"

​
workflow_id
string
required

The UUID of the workflow that was executed.

Example:

"0686bb97-8c30-70f0-8000-97669e000eb8"

​
version_id
string
required

The workflow version this run was bound to (the latest version at submission time). Lets callers verify which schema produced the results — useful right after an edit.

Example:

"FGaV4I2JAA"
