Looks great. Any plans to offer as an API?

The API feature is already in the pipeline. Could you share the scenarios where you would need the API?

This made me think of Microsoft's MarkItDown tool/library [1] which seems to have quite the overlap in supported file formats [2,3] and conversion options [4]. I couldn't find any reference to the library on the website, so it may be useful to know about.
