Skip to main content
Start the container with an input file and an output file as positional arguments and FineParser runs as a one-shot command instead of a server. The container starts, parses the document, writes the result, and exits. Use this mode for scripts, batch jobs, and quick checks where a long-running API is more than you need.
Both paths are inside the container, so mount the directory that holds your document and receives the output. In the example above, the current directory is mounted at /data. The container runs as a non-root user, so the output directory must be writable by it. The --rm flag removes the container once the job finishes. The license is required here just as in server mode. The metering ready for instance … line confirms it was accepted. Without it the container prints a no_instance error and exits without parsing. See Licenses and plans.

​
Choosing the output format

There is no outputType here. The format comes from the extension of the output file. See Output formats for what each one contains.

​
Setting mode and languages

The same flags as server mode apply, and they must come before the positional arguments.
See Recognition modes and Languages.

​
Parsing many documents

Every run starts a new container and loads the recognition engine before it reads your document. Looping over a folder this way is slow because that startup happens again for each file. If you have more than a handful of documents, run the container as a server and post them to it instead. See REST API.
