Request Field for Logging User-Specified Job-Level metadata

[adreichert]

Summary

I'd like to request that both the REST API and the Python package offer a field that permits users to upload small, custom strings. This field would NOT be used for parsing by LlamaParse. The user could populate it with freeform strings, small JSON documents, or anything else they wanted. Later, they could read this from the job details endpoint. In the past, I've used such fields for the following:

• Debugging
• Tagging uploaded jobs
• Storing identifiers useful for joining this job to other tables or data sources

Example

% curl -L -X POST 'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/parsing/upload' \      
[...]
-F 'user_metadata="DEBUG"'
[...]

 curl -L -X GET 'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/parsing/job/<ID>/details' \ 
[...]
user_metadata="DEBUG"

Great Feedback. We will add it to a future release (most likely in the next 2-3 weeks)
