# Overview
[ExtractTable](https://extracttable.com) - **API to extract tabular data from images and scanned PDFs**

The motivation is to make it easy for developers to extract tabular data from images or scanned PDF files without worrying about the table area, column coordinates, rotation et al.

# Prerequisite

**API Key**: All requests to ExtractTable are authorized by an API Key. [FREE credits here](https://extracttable.com/signup/trial.html). The same API Key can also be used for conversions on the browser at [Web Pro](https://extracttable.com/pro.html).


# Installation

`pip install -U ExtractTable`


# Basic Usage
Ok, enough selling. Let the ease in coding do the talk, and the output encourages you to buy credits; put that timer on and count the LOC.


```python
from ExtractTable import ExtractTable
et_sess = ExtractTable(api_key=YOUR_API_KEY)        # Replace your VALID API Key here
print(et_sess.check_usage())        # Checks the API Key validity as well as shows associated plan usage 
table_data = et_sess.process_file(filepath=Location_of_Image_with_Tables, output_format="df")

# To process PDF, make use of pages ("1", "1,3-4", "all") params in the read_pdf function
table_data = et_sess.process_file(filepath=Location_of_PDF_with_Tables, output_format="df", pages="all")
```
