End-to-end example: make an image and PDF searchable with OCR, combine them, download the finished PDF — just a few lines of TypeScript.

You know this from a developer's perspective:

01

OCR from vendor A. PDF compression from vendor B. Virus scan from vendor C.

02

Three contracts, three DPAs, three invoices, three SDKs — and three points of failure.

03

And none of them are hosted in Germany.

We make it simpler

One API. One SDK. One provider.

All document functions via a REST API with well-maintained TypeScript and Python SDKs. Fully OpenAPI-documented, hosted in Germany, with a single contract and a single invoice.

No subscription. No vendor lock-in to US providers. No "pay for features you never use".

The displayed credit costs apply per unit. When processing multiple pages or documents, credits are multiplied accordingly. To prevent API abuse, we charge a base fee of one credit per API request.

Frequently asked questions.

How does billing work?
The MaraDocs API uses a credit system. You purchase credit packages in advance and use them flexibly across all API features. Each API call consumes the number of credits stated in the pricing table — no per-endpoint subscription, no hidden costs.
What happens to unused credits?
Credits only expire after 12 months of inactivity. You can top up your balance at any time. Detailed usage statistics can be easily retrieved via the API.
Is my data secure?
All API communication is encrypted via HTTPS. Your documents are deleted from our servers immediately after processing. Hosted exclusively in Germany, no AI training on your data.
Can I conclude a data processing agreement?
Yes. We offer individual data processing agreements in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR for API usage upon request. You can request one via your account on our website.
Which terms and privacy policy apply?
