Chunkr Task Management API

openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: Chunkr API
  description: >-
    The Chunkr Cloud API turns complex documents (PDF, Office, images) into
    RAG- and LLM-ready data. It exposes asynchronous parse and extract tasks
    that run layout analysis, OCR, segmentation, and chunking, plus file
    management and utility endpoints. Tasks are created and then polled until
    they reach a terminal status. Authentication uses an API key passed in the
    Authorization header.
