🔧 Requirements

Required Environment Variables

Scripts automatically read MinerU Token from environment variables (choose one):

# Option 1: Set MINERU_TOKEN
export MINERU_TOKEN="your_api_token_here"

# Option 2: Set MINERU_API_KEY
export MINERU_API_KEY="your_api_token_here"

Required Command-Line Tools

• curl - For HTTP requests (usually pre-installed)
• unzip - For extracting results (usually pre-installed)

Optional Tools

• jq - For enhanced JSON parsing and security (recommended but not required)

- If not installed, scripts will use fallback methods - Install: apt-get install jq (Debian/Ubuntu) or brew install jq (macOS)

Optional Configuration

# Set API base URL (default is pre-configured)
export MINERU_BASE_URL="https://mineru.net/api/v4"

Usage:

./local_file_step3_poll_result.sh <batch_id> [max_retries] [retry_interval_seconds]

Output:

FULL_ZIP_URL=https://cdn-mineru.openxlab.org.cn/pdf/.../xxx.zip

local_file_step4_download.sh

Download result ZIP and extract.

Usage:

./local_file_step4_download.sh <zip_url> [output_zip_filename] [extract_directory_name]

Output Structure:

🌐 Feature 2: Parse Online PDF Documents (URL Method)

For PDF files already available online (e.g., arXiv, websites). Only 2 steps, more concise and efficient.

Quick Start

cd scripts/

# Step 1: Submit parsing task (provide URL directly)
./online_file_step1_submit_task.sh "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.17247.pdf"
# Output: TASK_ID=xxx

# Step 2: Poll results and auto-download/extract
./online_file_step2_poll_result.sh "$TASK_ID" extracted/

Script Descriptions

online_file_step1_submit_task.sh

Submit parsing task for online PDF.

Usage:

./online_file_step1_submit_task.sh <pdf_url> [language] [layout_model]

Parameters:

• pdf_url: Complete URL of the online PDF (required)
• language: ch (Chinese), en (English), auto (auto-detect), default ch
• layout_model: doclayout_yolo (fast), layoutlmv3 (accurate), default doclayout_yolo

Output:

TASK_ID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

online_file_step2_poll_result.sh

Poll extraction results, automatically download and extract when complete.

Usage:

./online_file_step2_poll_result.sh <task_id> [output_directory] [max_retries] [retry_interval_seconds]

Output Structure:

extracted/
├── full.md              # 📄 Markdown document (main result)
├── images/              # 🖼️ Extracted images

📊 Comparison of Two Parsing Methods

⚙️ Advanced Usage

Batch Process Local Files

for pdf in /path/to/pdfs/*.pdf; do
    echo "Processing: $pdf"
    
    # Step 1
    result=$(./local_file_step1_apply_upload_url.sh "$pdf" 2>&1)
    batch_id=$(echo "$result" | grep BATCH_ID | cut -d= -f2)
    upload_url=$(echo "$result" | grep UPLOAD_URL | cut -d= -f2)
    
    # Step 2
    ./local_file_step2_upload_file.sh "$upload_url" "$pdf"
    
    # Step 3
    zip_url=$(./local_file_step3_poll_result.sh "$batch_id" | grep FULL_ZIP_URL | cut -d= -f2)
    
    # Step 4
    filename=$(basename "$pdf" .pdf)
    ./local_file_step4_download.sh "$zip_url" "${filename}.zip" "${filename}_extracted"
done

Batch Process Online Files

for url in \
  "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.17247.pdf" \
  "https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.12345.pdf"; do
    echo "Processing: $url"
    
    # Step 1
    result=$(./online_file_step1_submit_task.sh "$url" 2>&1)
    task_id=$(echo "$result" | grep TASK_ID | cut -d= -f2)
    
    # Step 2
    filename=$(basename "$url" .pdf)
    ./online_file_step2_poll_result.sh "$task_id" "${filename}_extracted"
done

⚠️ Notes

1. Token Configuration: Scripts prioritize MINERU_TOKEN, fall back to MINERU_API_KEY if not found
2. Token Security: Do not hard-code tokens in scripts; use environment variables
3. URL Accessibility: For online parsing, ensure the provided URL is publicly accessible
4. File Limits: Single file recommended not exceeding 200MB, maximum 600 pages
5. Network Stability: Ensure stable network when uploading large files
6. Security: This skill includes input validation and sanitization to prevent JSON injection and directory traversal attacks
7. Optional jq: Installing jq provides enhanced JSON parsing and additional security checks
