PDF Support

Upload and Analyze Documents Seamlessly in GTWY

PDFs don’t need to slow you down. GTWY’s PDF Support lets you upload, read, and analyze PDF files instantly using AI — whether it’s research papers, contracts, reports, proposals, or manuals.
Instead of manually scanning long documents, GTWY extracts insights, summarizes content, and answers questions automatically.

This turns static PDFs into dynamic, intelligent knowledge sources.

How PDF Support Works

GTWY gives you two ways to upload and use PDFs with your AI agents:

Option 1: Upload via External Link

If your PDF is already hosted online, simply include its URL in your API request.

curl --location 'https://api.gtwy.ai/api/v2/model/chat/completion' \
--header 'pauthkey: YOUR_GENERATED_PAUTHKEY' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
  "user": "Summarize the key takeaways from the attached PDF.",
  "agent_id": "YOUR_AGENT_ID",
  "thread_id": "YOUR_THREAD_ID",
  "response_type": "text",
  "variables": {},
  "files": [
    "https://example.com/document.pdf"
  ]
}'

If both thread_id and agent_id are provided, the PDF will automatically be linked to that session — so you won’t need to send the URL again in later requests.

Option 2: Upload PDF via GTWY API

Don’t have a hosted URL? You can directly upload your file to GTWY.

curl --location 'https://api.gtwy.ai/files/upload' \
--header 'pauthkey: YOUR_GENERATED_PAUTHKEY' \
--form 'file=@"path/to/your/document.pdf"' \
--form 'agent_id="YOUR_AGENT_ID"' \
--form 'thread_id="YOUR_THREAD_ID"'

Example Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "file_url": "https://resources.gtwy.ai/uploads/example.pdf"
}

Once uploaded, just use the returned file_url in your main API request:

"files": ["https://resources.gtwy.ai/uploads/example.pdf"]

Handling Long PDFs and Timeouts

If processing takes longer than one minute, you can use Webhook Support to receive complete, asynchronous responses at your custom endpoint — ensuring reliable, error-free execution.
