APIs
Explore the APIs category for structured AI extraction, web data collection, and vision intelligence you can plug directly into agent workflows. Tools like LlamaParse, Hireability, Airparser, and Affinda turn messy resumes into clean structured data, while Firecrawl and Oxylabs Web Scraper API extract web content at scale for LLM-ready pipelines. You’ll also find APIs like Google Cloud Vision API and Amazon Rekognition API for image analysis, plus Jina AI Reader API for fast content extraction built for AI systems.
24 resources in APIs
Landing AI
A hosted PDF-to-markdown API that extracts tables, charts, signatures, and scanned text well, but flattens some heading hierarchy.
Hireability
Resume parsing API for structured JSON extraction on standard PDFs, with strong Indian contact support but fragile multi-column handling.
Best AI Resume Parsing APIs for Structured JSON Output
If you need a resume parsing API that turns PDF and DOCX resumes into clean, machine-readable JSON, the hard part is not just extracting names and emails. The real test is whether the parser keeps work history, education, skills, certifications, and layout-dependent fields accurate across clean, multi-column, messy, and OCR-only resumes without manual field mapping.
CVParserPro
Fast resume parsing with a readable candidate profile, but experience totals and education dates need manual verification.
Firecrawl
Reliable on JavaScript-heavy and bot-protected pages, but its markdown output usually needs a cleanup step.
Jina AI Reader
Turns public URLs into LLM-ready text, with the strongest tested results on static pages and weaker results on JS-heavy or protected sites.
Spider
Fast static-page scraping, but weak cleanup and poor reliability on dynamic or protected sites.
Query Live Databases Using Plain English with AI
This use case shows how business users can query a live database using plain English instead of writing SQL. We tested five AI database tools on the same ecommerce database and found AskYourDatabase to be the best practical workflow because it showed generated SQL, returned readable business answers, handled follow-ups well, and surfaced operational risks like pending-but-paid orders. The page also covers real outputs, limitations, and when users should still review the SQL before acting on results.
Best AI Tools to Scrape Web Pages Into Clean Markdown or Structured Data
We tested four AI web-scraping tools on three live targets—a cluttered recipe blog, a JS-heavy Nike product page, and a protected Glassdoor jobs page—to see which ones return usable Markdown or structured data with zero manual selectors.
Best AI APIs to Convert Complex PDFs to Clean Markdown
We tested hosted PDF-to-markdown APIs on the same three hard documents: a long hybrid annual report, a table-heavy financial report, and an image-only scanned research paper. The goal was usable markdown with OCR, tables, charts, and reading order preserved well enough for downstream RAG, search, and reuse.
Upstage AI
Solid on native financial tables, but unreliable for multi-column and scanned-document structure in markdown conversion.
Nutrient.io
A developer-first PDF-to-markdown API that handles straightforward OCR and hierarchy well, but loses fidelity on complex tables, charts, and handwritten visual content.
Extend AI
A capable PDF-to-markdown API for mixed and scanned documents that keeps structure and most visuals, but stumbles on the hardest table headers.
Mistral AI
A strong hosted PDF-to-markdown API for mixed and scanned documents, with solid OCR, table recovery, and asset export but uneven structural fidelity.

Best AI Tools for Parsing Resumes via API (2026)
This ranking evaluates AI resume parsing APIs based on their ability to convert resume PDFs into structured, machine-readable data. Using the same three resume inputs across all tools—a clean single-column resume, a multi-column sidebar resume, and a messy real-world resume—we tested extraction accuracy, layout handling, JSON consistency, and automation readiness. The analysis highlights which APIs are best suited for ATS platforms, recruitment software, HR-tech products, and large-scale hiring workflows.
