Package Exports

llama-parse-cli
llama-parse-cli/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (llama-parse-cli) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Llama Parse CLI

A non-official command-line interface (CLI) for parsing documents using the LlamaIndex Parser.

Installation

To install the llama-parse-cli, you need to have Node.js and npm installed on your system. Then, you can install it globally using:

npm install -g llama-parse-cli

Usage

The CLI provides two main commands: auth and parse.

Authentication

Before using the parse functionality, you need to authenticate with your API key:

llama-parse auth

This command will prompt you to enter your API key, which should start with "llx-". The key will be securely stored in ~/.llama-parse/config.json.

Parsing Documents

To parse a document, use the parse command:

llama-parse parse <file> [options]

Options:

-f, --format <format>: Output format (json, markdown, text). Default: markdown
-o, --output <output>: The output file
-ol, --ocr-language <ocr-language>: The language of the document
-pi, --parsing-instructions <parsing-instructions>: The parsing instructions
-ps, --page-separator <page-separator>: The page separator
-sd, --skip-diagonal-text: Skip diagonal text
-ic, --invalidate-cache: Invalidate cache
-dc, --do-not-cache: Do not cache
-dnc, --do-not-unroll-columns: Do not unroll columns
-fm, --fast-mode: Fast mode
-gpt4o, --gpt-4o: Use GPT-4o
-tp, --target-pages <target-pages>: The target pages (comma-separated list, starting from 0)
-v, --verbose: Verbose mode

Examples

Parse a PDF file and output in markdown format:

llama-parse parse example/sample-pdf.pdf

Parse a document and save the output to a file:

llama-parse parse example/sample-pdf.pdf -o output.md

Parse specific pages of a document:

llama-parse parse example/sample-pdf.pdf -tp 0

Parse a document in verbose mode:

llama-parse parse example/sample-pdf.pdf -v

Development

The project is built using TypeScript and uses the following key dependencies:

Commander.js for CLI argument parsing
Zod for input validation
Inquirer for interactive prompts
Ora for spinner animations
Chalk for colorful console output

To set up the development environment:

Clone the repository
Run pnpm install to install dependencies
Use pnpm dev to run the CLI in development mode
Use pnpm build to build the project
Use pnpm link . to link the CLI globally

The main entry point is in src/index.ts:

#!/usr/bin/env node
import { version } from "../package.json";
import { program } from "commander";
import { createAuthCommand, createParseCommand } from "./commands";

program
  .name("llama-parse")
  .addCommand(createAuthCommand())
  .addCommand(createParseCommand())
  .description("A CLI for parsing documents with llama parse")
  .version(`${version}`);

program.parse(process.argv);

The CLI commands are defined in separate files under the src/commands directory:

export { createAuthCommand } from "./auth";
export { createParseCommand } from "./parse";
