Synchronous extraction processes a document in a single request–response cycle. The connection remains open until the extraction process completes and the full response is returned. This mode is best suited for:
  • Smaller documents
  • Interactive or real-time use cases
  • Scenarios where immediate results are required
Key characteristics
  • Single request / single response
  • Subject to a maximum timeout of 300 seconds
If the extraction does not complete within the timeout window, the request will fail and should be retried using asynchronous extraction.
Tip: Use asynchronous extraction for large files or when processing time is unpredictable.
