Structured Outputs

Use structured JSON output when you want to extract specific fields from your documents for further processing. Make sure your prompt also tells the model how to format the output.

In this example, we extract the following fields: title, authors, published date, category, page count, and whether the document contains pictures. Here’s the prompt:

Please extract the following information from the provided document. Do not use any other sources.

The document title. All authors separated by a comma — if there are no authors, set the field to null. The date the document was
published in the format "DD.MM.YYYY" — if unknown, set the field to null. The number of pages. Whether the document includes any pictures.

Example JSON output:
{
    "title": "A document title",
    "authors": "Ben, Lisa",
    "published_date": "10.12.2004",
    "page_numbers": 14,
    "pictures_included": true
}

It’s important to tell the model exactly how to return the data. When using JSON output, including the word json in your prompt is often required.

Export the data

Once your batch is done, the model’s consistent JSON output can be converted into a spreadsheet. Click the Export Icon and select json long format as the interpretation method.

Here’s what the table looks like for this example:

file_name	_title	_authors	_published_date	_page_numbers	_pictures_included
example-1.pdf	A document title	Ben, Lisa	10.12.2004	14	True
example-2.pdf	Another document title	null	null	1	False
example-3.pdf	Beautiful title	Fine	17.02.2016	7	True
