get_extracted_data
Get Extracted Data
Retrieves structured data extracted from processed documents. Query by a single **documentId** to get results for one document, or by **extractorId** to retrieve results across multiple documents. Optionally filter by folder and upload date when querying by extractor. Processing is asynchronous; call again if data is not populated.
list_extractors
List Extractors

list_folders
List Folders
Lists all folders in your Algodocs account. Folders have a hierarchical structure and are required when uploading documents. Use this to discover available folders and obtain their IDs.
download_document
Download Document
Downloads the original document or its Excel, JSON, XML, TXT, or CSV extraction output using download links returned by AlgoDocs.
get_current_user
