Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • A Meibel account (sign up at console.meibel.ai if you don’t have one)
  • An API key (generated from the Dashboard under Settings > API Keys)

​
Step 1: Set Up Authentication

All requests to the Meibel API require authentication using your API key in the Meibel-API-Key header. 
# Store your API key in an environment variable (recommended)
export MEIBEL_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Make a test request to list datasources
curl -X GET "https://api.meibel.ai/v2/datasources" \
  -H "Meibel-API-Key: $MEIBEL_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

​
Step 2: Parse a Document

Upload and parse a document to extract structured content: 
curl -X POST "https://api.meibel.ai/v2/documents/parse" \
  -H "Meibel-API-Key: $MEIBEL_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@document.pdf"

​
Step 3: Process a Document (Synchronous)

For convenience, you can parse and wait for the result in a single call: 
with open("document.pdf", "rb") as f:
    result = client.documents.process_document(file=f)
    print(result)  # Parsed markdown content
