Northbound Works

Small, sharp tools that do one job properly.

What we build Document processing and public-data tools — PDF extraction, OCR, format conversion, and scrapers for openly published sources. One job per Actor, with real input validation and clean structured output.

What we don't build Anything requiring a login that isn't yours, defeating access controls, or ignoring a site's terms of service. If a source doesn't permit automated access, we don't ship an Actor for it. That costs us some obvious products. It also means nothing we publish quietly stops working, or quietly becomes your problem.

Maintenance Actors are monitored and kept working. Report an issue and you get a response — if a target changes or something breaks, it gets fixed. An abandoned scraper is worse than no scraper, and we'd rather retire one than let it rot on the store.

Pricing Pay per result. You're charged for output you actually receive, not for time our code spends running.
