It provides typed, synchronous and asynchronous access to parse, extract structured data, classify, split, and edit documents in PDF and 35+ other file formats. The SDK wraps the Extend API with convenient methods that handle file upload, processing, and result retrieval in a single call.\n\nThe library integrates deeply with Pydantic, allowing you to define extraction schemas as typed models and get end-to-end validation from request to response. It includes polling helpers for production workflows, webhook verification utilities, and support for custom field types like ExtendDate, ExtendCurrency, and ExtendSignature. Synchronous methods have a 5-minute timeout and are suited for testing; production workloads should use polling or webhooks instead.","worth_installing":"Yes. The SDK is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and permissive licensing. It is well-suited for developers building document processing workflows who want typed, convenient access to the Extend API. Start with synchronous methods for prototyping; migrate to polling or webhooks for production workloads."},"id":"extend-ai","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/extend-ai","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/extend-ai.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/extend-ai/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"extend-ai","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Official Python SDK for Extend (extend.ai) \u2014 the document processing API.
