Unstructured

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.

agent ready

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Unstructured the way a machine reads it — 20 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Unstructured scores 59.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 60/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Unstructured

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Unstructured. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 9

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Unstructured channels API

The channels API from Unstructured — 3 operation(s) for channels.

Unstructured destinations API

The destinations API from Unstructured — 3 operation(s) for destinations.

Unstructured general API

The general API from Unstructured — 1 operation(s) for general.

Unstructured jobs API

The jobs API from Unstructured — 6 operation(s) for jobs.

Unstructured notifications API

The notifications API from Unstructured — 4 operation(s) for notifications.

Unstructured sources API

The sources API from Unstructured — 3 operation(s) for sources.

Unstructured templates API

The templates API from Unstructured — 2 operation(s) for templates.

Unstructured workflow-channels API

The workflow-channels API from Unstructured — 3 operation(s) for workflow-channels.

Unstructured workflows API

The workflows API from Unstructured — 6 operation(s) for workflows.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Spectral Rules 1

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

JSON Schema 1

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
