description: Unstructured is a document parsing and pre-processing platform that provides a REST API for ingesting PDFs, HTML,
  DOCX, images, and more than 50 other file formats, transforming them into clean structured JSON chunks ready for RAG pipelines
  and LLM applications. The platform offers partitioning, enrichment, chunking, and embedding capabilities via both a SaaS
  serverless API and self-hosted deployments. Billing is calculated on a per-page basis, with a free tier of 15,000 pages,
  pay-as-you-go at $0.03 per page, and custom enterprise pricing. Unstructured also ships Python and JavaScript SDKs, an MCP
  server for AI agent workflows, and 40+ connectors for source and destination data systems including S3, Databricks, and
  vector databases.
