🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables (.env)

# Required
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Optional (defaults shown)
USE_VISION=true              # Use Gemini Vision API
USE_DOCLING=false            # Use Docling OCR (fallback)
USE_IMPUTATION=true          # Enable data imputation
IMPUTATION_STRATEGY=forward_fill  # forward_fill, mean, mode, none
GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-2.5-flash     # AI model version

Extraction Methods

Gemini Vision API (Default):

• ✅ Fastest (30-45s)
• ✅ Best accuracy (89-91%)
• ⚠️ Costs $2-3 per PDF
• Set USE_VISION=true

Docling OCR (Fallback):

• ✅ Free (open-source)
• ✅ Layout-aware parsing
• ⚠️ Lower accuracy (72%)
• ⚠️ Slower (3-5 min)
• Set USE_VISION=false, USE_DOCLING=true

Hybrid (Recommended for production):

• Use Docling for extraction
• Use Gemini for validation
• Best accuracy/cost ratio

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Problem: GEMINI_API_KEY not found

# Solution: Check .env file
cat .env | grep GEMINI_API_KEY
# Should show: GEMINI_API_KEY=AIza...

Problem: Port 8000 already in use

# Solution: Kill existing process
lsof -ti:8000 | xargs kill -9
lsof -ti:5001 | xargs kill -9

Problem: Module not found: uvicorn

# Solution: Reinstall dependencies
.venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Problem: Docker build failed - no space

# Solution: Clean Docker cache
docker system prune -a

Problem: JSON parse error - Unterminated string

# Solution: Already fixed!
# vision_extractor.py now uses max_output_tokens=65536
