Summary

Convert a document from a specified HTTP URL asynchronously using the Docling Serve API, with optional customization of processing features and output formats.

Inputs

  • Source URL (required) — The HTTP URL of the document to convert.
  • Additional Options — Collection of optional parameters including OCR settings, table extraction, image handling, enrichment features (code, formula, pictures), document timeout, input and output format restrictions, image export mode, pipeline selection, and processing presets.

Output shape

a single JSON object containing the converted document data and metadata after asynchronous processing completes

The operation initiates the conversion as an async task, auto-polls until completion, and returns the final conversion result. If the task fails, an error is thrown. Output includes fields as per Docling Serve API response, optionally customized by input options.

Examples

Example 1: Convert a PDF document from a public HTTP URL asynchronously with default OCR and table extraction settings.

Set 'Source URL' to the document URL; leave additional options as default (or customize as needed). The node will asynchronously process and return converted document data in JSON format upon completion.
