mineru-open-api flash-extract slides.pptx

# Save to directory
mineru-open-api flash-extract slides.pptx -o ./out/

# Parse specific page range
mineru-open-api flash-extract slides.pptx --pages 1-10

# Full parse with token (tables, formulas)
mineru-open-api extract slides.pptx -o ./out/

Authentication#

No token needed for flash-extract. Token required for extract:

bash

mineru-open-api auth             # Interactive token setup
export MINERU_TOKEN="your-token" # Or via environment variable

Create token at: https://mineru.net/apiManage/token
