# Alpha.Extractions

> Alpha feature endpoints for Extractions requests

## Overview

Alpha feature endpoints for Extractions requests

### Available Operations

* [create](#create) - Submit an Extractions request

## create

Extracts, computes, estimates or forecasts typed fields from a state string and image assets using an extraction-style System One model. Alpha: the shape is not stable.

### Example Usage

```python theme={null}
from openrouter import OpenRouter
import os


with OpenRouter(
    http_referer="<value>",
    x_open_router_title="<value>",
    x_open_router_categories="<value>",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY", ""),
) as open_router:

    res = open_router.alpha.extractions.create(fields={
        "contacts": {
            "items": "text",
            "type": "list",
        },
        "days_to_pay": {
            "max": 120.0,
            "min": 0.0,
            "step": 1.0,
            "type": "estimate",
        },
        "due_date": {
            "instructions": "Issue date plus the net payment days",
            "type": "date",
        },
        "invoice_number": {
            "type": "text",
        },
        "total": {
            "decimals": 2,
            "type": "number",
            "unit": "USD",
        },
    }, model="cloudflare/clairic", state="Invoice INV-2291 issued 2026-09-02, net 30. Contacts: Dana Ruiz, Priya Shah. Total $1080.", reference_date="2026-10-28")

    # Handle response
    print(res)

```

### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `fields` | Dict\[str, [components.Fields](../../components/fields.mdx)] | ✔️ | Map of field name to typed field spec. | |
| `model` | *str* | ✔️ | N/A | |
| `state` | *str* | ✔️ | The text to read from. May be empty only when the request carries image assets. | |
| `http_referer` | *Optional\[str]* | ➖ | The app identifier should be your app's URL and is used as the primary identifier for rankings. This is used to track API usage per application.  | |
| `x_open_router_title` | *Optional\[str]* | ➖ | The app display name allows you to customize how your app appears in OpenRouter's dashboard.  | |
| `x_open_router_categories` | *Optional\[str]* | ➖ | Comma-separated list of app categories (e.g. "cli-agent,cloud-agent"). Used for marketplace rankings.  | |
| `assets` | Dict\[str, [components.ExtractionAsset](../../components/extractionasset.mdx)] | ➖ | Assets keyed by reference string. Write a reference wherever the asset belongs in `state` or a field `instructions`; every asset must be referenced at least once. A `state` that is exactly the sole asset's key carries no text of its own and is read as file-only. A model that reads either text or a document per request, not both (ScaleDown Extract with a PDF), needs that form: any other text around the key is state text and is rejected with 400. | |
| `provider` | [OptionalNullable\[components.ProviderPreferences\]](../../components/providerpreferences.mdx) | ➖ | N/A | \{ "allow\_fallbacks": true } |
| `reference_date` | *Optional\[str]* | ➖ | ISO date that anchors dates written without a year. | |
| `session_id` | *Optional\[str]* | ➖ | A unique identifier for grouping related requests (e.g., a conversation or agent workflow). Used for observability grouping in Broadcast and private logging; never sent to the provider. If provided in both the request body and the x-session-id header, the body value takes precedence. Maximum of 256 characters. | session-1234 |
| `trace` | [Optional\[components.TraceConfig\]](../../components/traceconfig.mdx) | ➖ | Metadata for observability and tracing. Known keys (trace\_id, trace\_name, span\_name, generation\_name, parent\_span\_id) have special handling. Additional keys are passed through as custom metadata to configured broadcast destinations. | \{ "trace\_id": "trace-abc123", "trace\_name": "my-app-trace" } |
| `user` | *Optional\[str]* | ➖ | N/A | |
| `retries` | [Optional\[utils.RetryConfig\]](../../models/utils/retryconfig.mdx) | ➖ | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. | |
| `server_url` | *Optional\[str]* | ➖ | An optional server URL to use. | [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) |
