The official CLI for LandingAI's Agentic Document Extraction (ADE), which parses documents into grounded Markdown and elements and extracts schema-shaped fields with page-and-box evidence. It ships self-contained binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows and caches results locally at ~/.ade to avoid redundant API credit usage.

Use cases

• parse pdf invoices into markdown with grounded elements
• extract structured fields from documents using a json schema
• convert scanned documents with tables and charts to markdown
• find where an extracted value came from in the source document
• crop regions of a parsed document page as images
• search parsed document elements locally without api calls

When to choose

• you need schema-shaped structured data extracted from documents with per-field evidence
• you want a terminal-first workflow for document parsing without installing Python
• you need grounded extraction that shows page-and-box provenance for each value
• you process documents repeatedly and want local caching to save API credits

When to avoid

• you need fully offline document extraction since ADE requires a LandingAI API key and cloud service
• you want a free open-source OCR engine rather than a paid API client
• you need batch processing pipelines better served by the ade-python SDK
• you require self-hosted document processing
