What This Tool Does
A powerful data extraction tool that converts a wide variety of binary file formats into structured JSON output for seamless processing in automated workflows. This function supports eleven extraction actions covering the most common document and data formats: CSV for tabular data parsing, HTML for extracting text content and table structures using BeautifulSoup, JSON for direct parsing, ICS for calendar event extraction, ODS and XLSX/XLS for spreadsheet processing across LibreOffice and Microsoft Excel formats, PDF for page-by-page text and table extraction using pdfplumber, RTF for rich text conversion, and plain text for basic content retrieval. Users can provide input via base64-encoded content or cloud storage file ID, with support for files up to 100MB and inline base64 returns up to 10MB. Configurable parameters allow fine-tuning of extraction behavior including maximum row limits up to 100,000 for spreadsheets, maximum page counts up to 1,000 for PDFs, and toggles for text and table inclusion in applicable formats. The function automatically handles character encoding detection and returns consistently structured JSON with customizable output field names, making it an essential bridge between raw file uploads and downstream data processing pipelines.
