Introducing the Extractions API

OpenRouter launched the Extractions API in alpha, which pulls named, typed fields out of text, images and PDFs, with launch models from Cloudflare (Clairic), Inception (Mercury Decide) and ScaleDown (Extract). Clairic supports all nine field types and returns spans, p_null and distributions for estimates and forecasts, while Extract handles PDFs with text and list fields and per-value confidence, and Mercury Decide handles text only at the lowest input price. The post walks through invoice, receipt and purchase-order examples with request and response payloads, and contrasts Extractions with the Decisions API, where the model distributes probability over answers you write.
