v2 parse api not working.

[dakshneurolooplab]

Describe the bug
I copied this cURL:
curl -X POST
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{
"source_url": "https://example.com/document.pdf",
"parse_options": {
"tier": "cost_effective",
"version": "latest"
}
}'
"https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v2alpha1/parse/url"

and pasted this into my n8n https request node. I added my api key and added the source url. I changed the tier to agentic. When I ran the node, it gave this error:
Method not allowed - please check you are using the right HTTP method
When I changed to GET (which it shouldn't be), it gave me this error:
The service was not able to process your request

@dakshneurolooplab pretty sure thats not a valid URL endpoint?

@logan-markewich help me out here:

I am attaching the json of two n8n nodes with their outputs. The problem is that I am getting an output but it is not the same as the output that I am getting in the llama parse playground. I am getting the normal ocr output. I need the agentic tier output.
THE OUTPUT I AM GETTING:

@dakshneurolooplab if you check out the link I sent, /parse/url is not a valid endpoint

Note that that v2 endpoints are alpha and subject to change. I would not recommend using them. If you want to use the tier/version config, the v1 endpoints support these. I really recommend using the v1 endpoints, that is what the UI uses

Please reference the api docs I linked and let me know if that helps

[logan-markewich]

What would help the most is, if you are comparing the UI to the API, showing the options for each

[dakshneurolooplab]

@logan-markewich Thank you so much! I did not know we could use v1 for tiers. It is now working. Yes. I can now see that the UI is also using v1. THANKS!!
