Overview

Whether you’re using the free Unstructured API, the SaaS Unstructured API, Unstructured API on Azure/AWS or your local deployment of Unstructured API, you have several methods of accessing it. The functionality is the same across different methods.

Choose your preferred method:

• Sending POST requests to Unstructured API
• Using Python SDK
• Using JavaScript SDK
• Using API by calling partition_via_api() from Python code

The API parameters for all these methods are documented on the API parameters page.
