Description

Show HN: Parse a PDF from your terminal with PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 I built OpenParser because I wanted PaddleOCR-VL-1.6 behind an endpoint I could actually use. Now there are open-sourced CLI and TypeScript/Python SDKs:

``` npm install -g @openparser/cli openparser auth login openparser parse sync document.pdf ```

That is basically it. It doesnt get easier and cheaper that this. Give it a PDF and get back the text and document structure.

I would love feedback from anyone willing to try the CLI and tell me what is still annoying.

Show HN: A free curl API for IP data (we scan the IPv4 space in <24h) The curl API for WorldIP is now live and completely free to use. You can hit it right from your terminal:<p>curl worldip.io — returns information about your requesting IP. curl worldip.io&#x2F;8.8.8.8 — returns details on any specific IP.<p>The main differentiator here is that we aren&#x27;t just wrapping another provider&#x27;s API and reselling their data. We built and run our own global infrastructure capable of scanning the entire IPv4 space in about a day.<p>Happy to answer any questions about the scanning infrastructure or the stack!
