## Create Extract Job

**post** `/api/v2/extract`

Create an extraction job.

Extracts structured data from a document using either a saved
configuration or an inline JSON Schema.

## Input

Provide exactly one of:

- `configuration_id` — reference a saved extraction config
- `configuration` — inline configuration with a `data_schema`

## Document input

Set `file_input` to a file ID (`dfl-...`) or a
completed parse job ID (`pjb-...`).

The job runs asynchronously. Poll `GET /extract/{job_id}` or
register a webhook to monitor completion.
