Asynchronous workflow

  1. 01

    Authenticate

  2. 02

    Submit job

  3. 03

    Poll status

  4. 04

    Use result

Example request

curl -X POST https://maxscanner.app/api/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: unique-request-001" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"filename":"input.jpg","inputFormat":"jpg","format":"text","sourceKey":"users/USER/uploads/input"}'

Build safely

Use a stable idempotency key for retries. Private source objects stay account-owned, processing is asynchronous, and internal processor selection is controlled by MAXScanner.
