API
This is the public facing API for the toolkit. There are three main entry points:
score: score a document's prediction against the ground truth.predict: predict extractions for a document with one of our providers.benchmark: run our benchmark.
The first two are the primitives the last one is built around. Each works in your code and
from the cli. The cli is a thin wrapper, except that benchmark shows you the plan and waits
-- nothing in the library ever reads stdin.
- score — grade one prediction against one ground truth.
- predict — one document, one vendor.
- benchmark — the whole corpus, every vendor, resumable.
- providers — what you can run, and what each one takes.
- What a benchmark writes — the files, and what's in them.
score
Just the base install. No network, no API keys, no vendor packages.
Use in your own code.
from omni_extract_bench import score
score(
pred, # the prediction, a dict
gt, # the ground truth, a dict
schema, # the JSON Schema the prediction was generated against
order_matters=(), # arrays where position is part of the answer, e.g. ["steps"]
verdicts=False, # also return one verdict per address
)
result = score(prediction, ground_truth, schema)
result["accuracy"] # matched addresses / addresses either document used
result["precision"]
result["recall"]
or from the command line.
oeb score --pred pred.json --gt gold.json --schema schema.json
{
"accuracy": 0.5294117647058824,
"precision": 0.5625,
"recall": 0.8181818181818182,
"f1": 0.6666666666666666,
...truncated for display
Every argument is a flag of the same name, underscores as dashes, so order_matters is
--order-matters. It goes to stdout, so oeb score ... | jq .accuracy is one pipe.
The README has a worked example and
docs/METRIC_SPEC.md is the full specification.
predict
Needs the harness extra.
uv pip install 'omni-extract-bench[harness]'
Use in your own code.
from omni_extract_bench.harness import predict
predict(
provider, # a vendor name, or an OpenRouter model id
pdf, # path to the document
schema, # the JSON Schema to extract against
timeout=1800.0, # seconds this document may take, end to end
overlay=True, # state the gold's conventions in the field descriptions
**options, # anything the provider takes, e.g. mode="accurate"
)
Keys come from the environment and nowhere else -- DATALAB_API_KEY, REDUCTO_API_KEY,
OPENROUTER_API_KEY and so on. Options are recorded in the run, and a key should never be.
You get back the answer and the evidence for it.
record = predict("datalab", "invoice.pdf", schema, mode="accurate")
record["result"] # the extraction, shaped like your schema
record["raw"] # the vendor's response, as received
record["cost"] # what the vendor said this cost, plus wall_s and attempts
record["error"] # None, or what went wrong
record["run_manifest"] # what the vendor was actually sent
Score directly from the prediction.
from omni_extract_bench import score
score(record["result"], gold, schema)
You can also use the cli:
oeb predict --provider datalab --doc invoice.pdf --schema schema.json \
--options '{"mode": "accurate"}'
{
"result": {"invoice_id": "INV-4417", "total_due": 1240.0, ...},
"error": null,
"provider": "datalab",
"cost": {"usd": 1.4, "wall_s": 172.4, "attempts": 1, ...},
...truncated for display
Three types of errors raise:
MissingCredential # an unset API key
MissingDependency # an adapter whose SDK isn't installed
AccountFailure # the account can't pay
Everything else comes back in record["error"] with the prediction beside it.
benchmark
Needs the benchmark extra.
uv pip install 'omni-extract-bench[benchmark]'
!!NOTE!!: running this will cost money and you will need your API keys set.
Use in your own code.
from omni_extract_bench.benchmark import BenchmarkRun
BenchmarkRun(
providers, # e.g. ["datalab"]
out="runs", # where runs go
data_root=None, # where the corpus lands. Default: the HuggingFace cache
manifest=None, # own manifest instead of ours
repo=None, # a different HuggingFace dataset. Default: ours
suites=None, # limit to these suites
limit=0, # first N documents
timeout=1800.0,
predict_workers=None, # documents in flight per vendor
score_workers=0, # processes used to score
verdicts=True, # write verdicts; False to skip them
rescore=False, # score every document again
score_only=False, # score the predictions; call no vendor
options=None, # per-provider settings: {"datalab": {"mode": "accurate"}}
)
summary = BenchmarkRun(["datalab", "reducto"], limit=5).execute()
summary["datalab-f46415c9"]["accuracy"] # e.g. 0.9145
Three levels of abstraction
BenchmarkRun # every Run, grouped by adapter, predicted then graded
ProviderRun # every Run using a provider, through one pool sized to that service
Run # a provider plus its options
- A
Runis a provider plus its options. For example,datalabatmode=accurate. It has its own self-contained directory of results. - A
ProviderRunis every Run for one provider sharing one pool of threads. The cap belongs to the provider.
From the cli
oeb benchmark --out runs/ --limit 1 --providers datalab reducto
benchmark
out runs
runs 2 over 2 adapters
corpus huggingface datalab-to/omni_extract_bench
documents 1 document selected
timeout 1800s per document

Settings per provider
--options can give one provider a list, and each entry is its own Run. For example:
oeb benchmark \
--providers datalab reducto \
--options '{"datalab": [{"mode": "balanced"}, {"mode": "accurate"}],
"reducto": [{"agentic_table_mode": "max"},
{"agentic_table_mode": "default"}]}' \
--out runs/
That's 4 runs.
A manifest of your own
oeb benchmark --providers datalab --manifest my/corpus/manifest.parquet
Same parquet shape as ours. Or you can point to your own HuggingFace dataset, which is fetched the same way ours is.
oeb benchmark --providers datalab --repo someone/their-corpus
Whichever you use, the run records it in settings.json and refuses a directory that already
holds another one.
Resuming
It's resumable, and safe to run twice.
- A document is predicted again only when it has no record. The record is written last, so its presence means the prediction beside it is complete.
- A document is graded again only when it has no row in
scores.jsonl.
So a Ctrl-C, a crash or a credit ceiling costs you the documents in flight, and nothing else. Reinvoke the same command to carry on.
providers
See providers:
oeb providers
provider
───────────────────────
azure-cu
datalab
extend
llamaextract
mistral
reducto
openai/gpt-5.6-sol
anthropic/claude-opus-5
google/gemini-3.7-flash
the three model ids are examples: any OpenRouter org/model id works.
See what settings each takes and its default values. For example, datalab:
oeb providers datalab
datalab
option default
──────────────────────────────────────
mode balanced
base_url https://www.datalab.to
poll_interval 5.0
oeb benchmark --providers datalab --options '{"datalab": {"mode": ...}}'
Those defaults are the vendor's maximum tier. Parity here is "as much as the vendor will give", not one number for everyone.
In your code:
from omni_extract_bench.harness import PROVIDERS, settings_for
PROVIDERS
# ['azure-cu', 'datalab', 'extend', 'llamaextract', 'mistral', 'reducto']
settings_for("datalab")
# {'mode': 'balanced', 'base_url': 'https://www.datalab.to', 'poll_interval': 5.0}
settings_for("datalab", {"mode": "accurate"})
# {'mode': 'accurate', 'base_url': 'https://www.datalab.to', 'poll_interval': 5.0}
What a benchmark writes
One directory per run.

└── reducto-e54d3a1d/
Each is named for the provider and an eight-character digest of everything it was asked. That's
what keeps two configurations of one vendor apart. datalab-f46415c9 is the balanced run,
datalab-01a72762 is the accurate one, and neither can be handed the other's answers.
The digest isn't meant to be read. settings.json is where you read what a run was.
settings.json
What the run asked for, written before the first document -- so an interrupted run still says what it is.
{
"run": "datalab-f46415c9",
"provider": "datalab",
"settings": {
"mode": "balanced",
"base_url": "https://www.datalab.to",
"poll_interval": 5.0
},
"timeout_s": 1800.0,
"corpus": "huggingface datalab-to/omni_extract_bench"
}
settings is the whole resolved configuration, not just what you passed.
summary.json
What it came to, written as soon as that run is graded rather than when the whole invocation finishes.

}
}
The run and each suite are the same shape, so whatever you read at the top you can read per suite as well.
predictions/<doc_id>.json
The bare extraction, shaped like the schema. This is what scoring reads, and it's the same
thing predict returns as record["result"].
records/<doc_id>.json
Everything else about that document. Two files because scoring wants the answer and an audit wants all of it.

verdicts/<doc_id>.jsonl
One line per address: what happened there, and what each side was compared as. This is the
same shape score(..., verdicts=True) returns, and it's a low-level address breakdown of how
scoring happened.
Written by default, because it's what lets a number be argued with rather than only quoted.
It's also the bulk of what a run writes -- around five times the gold it grades, so a
four-provider run over our corpus is a couple of gigabytes. Pass --no-verdicts and you get
scores.jsonl and summary.json and nothing else.
One line looks like this:
{"address": [["k", "line_items"], ["i", 0], ["k", "unit_price"]], "gold_raw": 12.5, "pred_raw": 12.05, "gold_canon": "12.5", "pred_canon": "12.05", "verdict": "misread"}
address is the path to the scalar, one step at a time: ["k", name] walks into a key,
["i", n] into an array element. So that one reads line_items[0].unit_price.
gold_raw and pred_raw are what each document said; gold_canon and pred_canon are what
they were actually compared as, after normalising.
There are six verdicts, and every address gets exactly one:
matched both documents addressed it and agree
misread both addressed it and the values disagree
unfound the gold has it, the prediction doesn't
fabricated the schema offered the slot, the document is silent
invented_field a name the schema never declared
invented_item a value under an array row that paired with nothing
fabricated keys off the schema, not gold's nulls. The schema offered purchase_order,
the document doesn't cite one, and the model produced PO-88231 from nowhere.
And in the invented_item line the index is "p2", not a number. A predicted row that paired
with a gold row takes gold's index; one that paired with nothing gets a made-up label
instead.
METRIC_SPEC.md §4 has the full vocabulary and how the counts add up.
