Retrieve by BiomPIN

curl "https://biomapi.com/api/v1/biom/retrieve?biom_pin=lunar-rocket-731904"

Check API status

curl https://biomapi.com/api/v1/status

CLI

Install the zero-dependency CLI and process files from the terminal:

python biomapi.py process report.pdf

See the CLI guide for installation and full usage.

Authentication

All endpoints work without an API key (with lower rate limits). For production integrations, pass your BiomAPI key to get higher limits:

curl -X POST https://biomapi.com/api/v1/biom/process \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer biom_your_key_here" \
  -F "file=@report.pdf"

See Authentication for details.

BYOK (Bring Your Own Gemini Key)

Use your own Google Gemini API key to bypass the shared quota entirely:

curl -X POST https://biomapi.com/api/v1/biom/process \
  -H "X-Gemini-API-Key: AIza_your_key" \
  -F "file=@report.pdf"
