  title: Doctly Documents API
  description: Doctly converts PDF, DOCX, and image documents into clean Markdown or structured JSON. Submit a document for asynchronous processing, then poll the document by id (or receive a webhook callback) to retrieve the signed output_file_url. Custom extractors run structured-data extraction against a document. All requests authenticate with a Bearer API key.
