# Federal Reserve H.4.1 Balance Sheet Tables to JSON

**Use case:** 

Turns the Fed's weekly H.4.1 statistical release (Factors Affecting Reserve Balances) into JSON: every table as rows of cells with page number and bounding box, page text, Markdown and RAG chunks with page citations. The URL always points at the current week's release, so a weekly schedule gives you the balance sheet as data every Thursday.

## Input

```json
{
  "pdfUrls": [
    "https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h41/current/h41.pdf"
  ],
  "maxPagesPerPdf": 50,
  "outputMode": "pages",
  "extractTables": true,
  "extractText": true,
  "markdown": true,
  "chunkSize": 1200,
  "chunkOverlap": 150,
  "ocr": "off",
  "ocrLanguage": "eng",
  "maxFileSizeMb": 50,
  "includeWordBoxes": false,
  "includeCellBoxes": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "sourceUrl": {
    "label": "Source URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "fileName": {
    "label": "File",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "page": {
    "label": "Page",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "pageCount": {
    "label": "Pages in PDF",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "charCount": {
    "label": "Characters",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "tables": {
    "label": "Tables",
    "format": "array"
  },
  "ocrUsed": {
    "label": "OCR",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "error": {
    "label": "Error",
    "format": "string"
  }
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/landoz/pdf-to-json-tables.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
