File Options

​
1. Direct File Upload

  • Submit the PDF file directly using multipart/form-data
  • Maximum file size: 30MB
  • Ideal for local files that need to be uploaded from a client application

​
2. URL Submission

  • Provide a publicly accessible URL where the PDF file is hosted
  • Maximum file size: 30MB
  • Useful for files that are already hosted online or stored in cloud storage
  • The API will download and process the file from the provided URL
Both methods expect PDF format files only and will return the same structured CV evaluation response.
