reductoai
The official Python library for the reducto API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to call the Reducto API from Python. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, permissive Apache-2.0 licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and provides a well-typed interface with both sync and async support. The main constraint is that it requires a valid Reducto API key and internet access to the service; it is not a standalone document processor.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid REDUCTO_API_KEY environment variable or explicit api_key parameter to authenticate with the Reducto service.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and standard dependencies.
- Active maintenance with recent commits and support for current Python versions (3.9–3.14).

What it is and what it does
Reductoai is an official Python SDK for the Reducto document processing API. It provides a typed client interface to submit documents to Reducto's remote parsing service and retrieve structured results. The library includes full type hints for requests and responses via pydantic, making it suitable for IDE autocomplete and static type checking.
The package supports both synchronous and asynchronous workflows, both powered by httpx. It handles authentication via API key, automatic retries on transient failures, configurable timeouts, and detailed error types for different HTTP status codes. Responses are pydantic models with helper methods for JSON serialization and dictionary conversion.
Use it for
- Submit PDFs or images to Reducto's cloud service to extract structured data or enhanced content.
- Build async workflows that submit multiple documents in parallel and collect results without blocking.
- Integrate document parsing into a web service that needs typed, validated API responses.
- Handle API errors gracefully with specific exception types for rate limits, authentication, and connection failures.
- Use environment variables to manage API credentials securely across different deployment environments.
