export MINERU_TOKEN="your-token" # Or via environment variable

Create token at: https://mineru.net/apiManage/token

Capabilities

• Supported input: .pdf (local file or URL)
• Output format: HTML (-f html)
• HTML output requires extract with token — not available in flash-extract
• Language hint with --language (default: ch, use en for English)

Notes

• HTML output (-f html) is only available via extract with token
