Bem Functions API

Functions are the core building blocks of data transformation in Bem. Each function type serves a specific purpose: - **Extract**: Extract structured JSON data from unstructured documents (PDFs, emails, images, spreadsheets), with optional layout-aware bounding-box extraction - **Route**: Direct data to different processing paths based on conditions - **Split**: Break multi-page documents into individual pages for parallel processing - **Join**: Combine outputs from multiple function calls into a single result - **Parse**: Render documents into a navigable structure of page-aware sections, named entities, and relationships — designed to be walked by an LLM agent via the [File System API](/api/v3/file-system) (`POST /v3/fs`). Two toggles, both `true` by default: `extractEntities` controls per-document entity and relationship extraction; `linkAcrossDocuments` merges entities into one canonical record per real-world thing across the environment, populating cross-document memory. - **Payload Shaping**: Transform and restructure data using JMESPath expressions - **Enrich**: Enhance data with semantic search against collections - **Send**: Deliver workflow outputs to downstream destinations Use these endpoints to create, update, list, and manage your functions.
