Why the edge:
- Reliability, LandingAI Agentic Document Extraction +27: Datalab 58 (Hosted lines. Status page at status.datalab.to (incident.io) with Website and Datalab API components; the history page is drawn by script, so components are confirmed and history isn't (15 of 20, 5 for history). Rate limits per plan with numbers, plus page and size limits (15). 429 is retryable with sample backoff, and 500 and 529 say to check a known request ID before resubmitting; webhooks deduplicate by request_id (13 of 15). Custom SLAs only for Enterprise (0). Generally available (10). 15+5+15+13+0+10 = 58.); LandingAI Agentic Document Extraction 85 (Graded as a hosted API. Instatus page at status.landing.ai with US and EU components for the product and an incident history feed (20). The feed, re-read on 1 November 2026, shows no incident in the last 90 days. The most recent is a parsing outage of 18 hours 55 minutes on 30 April 2026, attributed to a cloud provider (30). Page limits per plan and tier are published, 100 pages a minute and 6,000 an hour on Explore (15). The docs ask for exponential backoff on 429, 502 and 503, say which 429 case will not clear on retry, and the libraries retry twice by default. No `Retry-After` header and no idempotency key for job creation were found (10 of 15). SLA and uptime guarantees are listed for Enterprise only and no SLA document is published (0). The Gen2 API has been generally available since 24 July 2026 (10).)
- Security & auth, Datalab +13: Datalab 56 (Several hashed API keys with per-key 30-day spend caps, revoke-and-replace rotation, no scopes (24 of 30). Spend caps limit damage; results and files can be deleted by the key holder, and there's no read-only key (10 of 20). Returns document text with no prompt-injection guidance (2 of 15). cost_breakdown per request and usage tracking in the dashboard (8 of 15). A Secureframe trust centre and a SOC 2 report on the Team plan, TOTP enforcement for teams; no disclosure policy or security.txt found (12 of 20). 24+10+2+8+12 = 56.); LandingAI Agentic Document Extraction 43 (Bearer key in a header, never in the URL. On the Explore plan there is one key that cannot be deleted or revoked, and a leaked key is replaced by emailing support. Team and Enterprise create several named keys and revoke them. No scopes on any plan (15 of 30, between the one-key and revocable-key lines). No read-only or restricted keys. Admin and Developer roles limit who may revoke keys, and an IP allowlist and SSO are Enterprise only (5 of 20). The API returns text from untrusted documents, and no prompt-injection guidance was found in the reviewed documentation (0 of 15). The Usage page logs every job with timestamp, API key, endpoint and credits, searchable and downloadable as CSV (10 of 15). The security page claims SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA with a BAA, third-party penetration tests and immutable audit logs. The libraries' SECURITY.md takes reports through GitHub private reporting. No security.txt and no bug bounty were found, and the trust centre could not be read (13 of 20).)
- Maintenance & community, LandingAI Agentic Document Extraction +6: Datalab 79 (Closed hosted service. Python SDK 0.9.1 on 6 November 2026 and a changelog entry on 4 November (30). Over twenty dated changelog entries since 8 August (20). Support by email, a Discord and public GitHub repositories for the open-source models; replies not sampled (12 of 15). An official Python SDK, current, no other languages (12 of 15). Package health not checked beyond release dates (5 of 10). 30+20+12+12+5 = 79.); LandingAI Agentic Document Extraction 85 (The API changelog's latest entry is 16 October 2026 (30). 10 dated Gen2 changelog entries from 10 August to 16 October 2026, and the Python and TypeScript libraries tagged five times each from 4 August to 17 September (20). A public changelog with RSS, a support address answered Monday to Friday, and a Discord server. Replies on GitHub issues were not sampled (10 of 15). Current official libraries in Python (1.18.1) and TypeScript (2.13.1), both tagged 17 September 2026 (15). Both library repositories run CI, production end-to-end tests and a workflow that syncs them with the API description (10).)
