Phase 4 exposes key-protected REST endpoints. Today, core PDF operations remain browser-only for privacy. AI text endpoints are scaffolded and gated by AI_ENABLED.

Privacy-first core tools

Prefer the public web tools for merge/split/compress/watermark. Server routes for those ops return 501 by design so files are not uploaded unnecessarily.

AI endpoints (text payloads)

• POST /api/pdf/summarize — body: { text, mode }
• POST /api/pdf/chat — body: { context, question }
• POST /api/pdf/extract — body: { text }

Example (JavaScript)

const res = await fetch("/api/pdf/summarize", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ text: extractedText, mode: "medium" }),
});
const { summary } = await res.json();

Example (Python)

import requests
r = requests.post(
  "https://allpdfneeds.com/api/pdf/summarize",
  json={"text": extracted_text, "mode": "short"},
)
print(r.json())
