How to extract data from online documents with your AI

Connect AlgoDocs once. From then on, your AI pulls structured JSON from any public URL using your specific rulesets.

Short answer

How can I pull structured data from a URL with my AI?

You provide a public URL and a ruleset, and your AI handles the rest. It fetches the file and converts the content into a clean JSON object. You'll get organized data ready for use.

The results.

Where your data lands.

The extraction process turns messy files into structured information.

JSON

Structured data

The AI converts document text into a clean JSON format. You get exactly the fields you defined in your ruleset.

STATUS

Processing updates

Your AI monitors the extraction progress. You'll know when the file is ready or if something went wrong.

HUMAN

Manual review

If an extraction fails or the data looks off, the AI flags it. You step in to fix the ruleset or check the source.

LOGS

Extraction history

Every successful pull is recorded. You can track what was extracted and which rulesets were applied.

The workflow

What your AI does when a URL is provided.

The AI manages the entire lifecycle from the initial link to the final JSON output.

  1. Find rulesets

    The AI looks through your available extraction configurations to find the right one for the document type.

    list_extractors

  2. Fetch the file

    The AI sends the public URL to the connector to begin the ingestion process.

    upload_document_from_url

  3. Track progress

    Since large files take time, the AI checks the status to see when the extraction is complete.

    get_document_status

  4. Deliver JSON

    Once finished, the AI pulls the final structured data to present to you.

    get_document_data

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI extract data from private URLs?

    No. The AI can only access files hosted at public URLs.

  • 02

    Does the AI automatically update my local database?

    No. The AI provides the structured JSON data, but you are responsible for moving that data into your own database or spreadsheet.

  • 03

    Can I change the extraction rules while a file is processing?

    No. Once a document is sent for extraction, it follows the ruleset assigned at the start of the task.

  • 04

    What happens if the document format changes?

    If the document doesn't match your ruleset, the extraction will fail. You'll need to update your ruleset and try again.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete files from the source URL?

    No. The AI only reads the data from the URL; it has no permission to modify or delete the original file.
