    # DocIntell API


    **Turn Documents into Data. Keep the Source Safe.**


    Financial document intelligence platform that turns PDFs into queryable data
    while keeping source files secure and compliant.


    ## Features


    - **Document Ingestion**: Upload PDFs with SEC 17a-4 compliant immutable
    storage

    - **Schema Projection**: Query extracted data with custom schemas (not data
    dumps!)

    - **Multi-Schema Support**: Same document, multiple query patterns

    - **Webhook Delivery**: Async notifications on job completion

    - **Row-Level Security**: Multi-tenant isolation built-in


    ## Authentication


    All API endpoints (except `/health`, `/`, `/docs`, and `/redoc`) require API
    key authentication.


    Include your API key in the `Authorization` header:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer dk_live_<your_key>

    ```


    Test keys start with `dk_test_`, production keys with `dk_live_`.


    ## Rate Limiting


    Per-tenant rate limits:

    - **Document ingestion**: 100 documents/hour

    - **Projection queries**: 1,000 requests/hour

    - **Schema operations**: 10 creates/hour


    Rate limit info is returned in response headers:

    - `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests allowed

    - `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Remaining requests in window

    - `X-RateLimit-Reset`: Unix timestamp when limit resets


    ## Error Handling


    All errors follow RFC 7807 Problem Details format:


    ```json

    {
      "error": "error_code",
      "message": "Human-readable description",
      "details": {}
    }

    ```


    Common error codes:

    - `unauthorized` (401): Missing or invalid API key

    - `rate_limit_exceeded` (429): Too many requests

    - `invalid_file_type` (400): Only PDFs supported

    - `file_too_large` (413): File exceeds size limit (default 100MB,
    configurable via MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE_MB)

    - `job_not_found` (404): Job ID doesn't exist or doesn't belong to tenant


    ## Getting Started


    1. Obtain API key from dashboard

    2. Upload PDF: `POST /v1/documents`

    3. Poll status: `GET /v1/documents/{document_id}/status`

    4. Query results: `POST /v1/documents/{document_id}/project`
