# Welcome to anyformat

> Pull the data you need out of your documents — automatically, and in a format you can use.

**anyformat reads your documents and pulls out the exact information you need.** Instead of typing invoice numbers, dates, and totals from a hundred PDFs into a spreadsheet by hand, you tell anyformat what to look for once — and it does the rest, on every document you give it.

You can use it entirely from the [web platform](https://app.anyformat.ai) — no coding required. Developers can also drive it from code through the [REST API](/api-reference/introduction) or the [Python SDK](/api-reference/sdks/python).

***

The docs are organized into three tabs:

* **Concepts** — what things *are* (Workflow, Field, Output…). One canonical page per concept; the rest of the docs link here instead of redefining.
* **Guides** — how to *do* things (Quickstart, building workflows, recipes for common document types).
* **API Reference** — for developers: the REST spec, endpoints, authentication, errors, and SDKs.

**Not a developer?** Stick to **Concepts** and **Guides** — everything you need to build and run workflows lives there. You can ignore the API Reference entirely.
