Extract API (Legacy)
Deprecated compatibility alias for GET /web/extract. Existing clients can continue using this route during the migration.
Billing metadata: successful billable responses include the X-Desearch-Cost-Usd, X-Desearch-Usage-Count, X-Desearch-Service, and X-Desearch-Currency headers. JSON object responses also include optional cost_usd, usage_count, service, and currency fields. For example, usage_count=10 at $0.015 / 1,000 resolves to cost_usd=0.00015. JSON arrays, text, and streaming responses keep their body shape and expose billing metadata only through headers.
