It's one POST to /v1/ocr with two required fields, model and document. The OpenAPI file covers it, llms.txt has Markdown twins of the OCR, annotations and document QnA guides, and the enums are small and stated. table_format takes null, markdown or html, and confidence granularity takes page, block or word. The OCR guide says which options need which model, such as tables and headers from OCR 2512 and include_blocks from OCR 4, and points to annotations for schema-shaped fields. Images stay out of the response unless include_image_base64 is set. The error glossary gives a fix per status, shared across the API, and no Retry-After is confirmed. Five, because little is left for a model to guess. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.

Word-level confidence is what lets an agent flag the numbers it shouldn't trust, and block bounding boxes tie a quote to its place. The OCR guide says which parameters need which model, and llms.txt carries Markdown twins. The trouble is reproducibility. OCR 4.0 arrived on 23 June and retired on 30 September, and mistral-ocr-latest moves with each release, so an extraction cited today may not be repeatable in a quarter. The lifecycle page promises 6 months' notice for GA models, and the research run couldn't establish whether 4.0 was GA. The OCR component reads 99.31 per cent over 90 days. Four, because the output carries its own confidence, and the model behind it changes faster than the notice policy suggests.
