The API is not a wrapper for general-purpose language models like OpenAI or Anthropic. Instead, it employs a purpose-built model optimized for the specific task of filling JSON schemas from raw text. This specialization allows Refractr to deliver predictable sub-second response times, making it faster and more cost-effective than prompt-based approaches.
Refractr's pricing model is straightforward and flexible. Every account receives 100 free extractions per day, with the option to purchase additional credits at a rate of €1 for 200 credits. Failed extractions are not charged, and users can top up their credits via Stripe for higher volume needs.
The API supports a wide range of document types, including PDFs, Word documents, and images, with OCR capabilities available for scanned documents and photos. Users can pass their JSON schema with each API call, allowing for dynamic field changes without the need for pre-compilation or deployment steps.
Refractr ensures data privacy by default, retaining documents and results for 30 days for debugging purposes before automatic deletion. Users can opt-in to contribute their data for model training, which increases their free extraction allowance.
Ideal for businesses and developers looking to automate data extraction processes, Refractr provides a reliable and efficient tool for converting unstructured text into actionable data.
