This Python client is used to process a single PDF document by the GROBID service. Results are returned in an XML format.

You need first to install and start the grobid service, latest stable version, see the documentation. The default server host is localhost and port is 8080. The GrobidClient can be configure via host and port.

This client has been developed and tested with Python 3.7.

pip install pygrobid

You can take a quick test via python tests.py pdf_file -h host -p port

In your code:

from grobid.client import GrobidClient

client = GrobidClient(host, port)
rsp = client.serve(service_name, pdf_file)
rsp = client.serve(service_name, pdf_file, consolidate_header=1)
