found the problem.

curl -X 'POST'
'https://api.cloud.llamaindex.ai/api/v1/parsing/upload'
-H 'accept: application/json'
-H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data'
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LLAMA_CLOUD_API_KEY"
--form 'bounding_box="0.1,0.2,0.2,0.3"'
-F 'file=@/path/to/your/file.pdf;type=application/pdf'

try this curl with any document and you will see that the document after processessing does not contain a lot of text anymore. this is done with the bounding_box param which was working quite fine until the 12th of november.

happy 1st anniversary to this issue!
time flies when you're... waiting for bounding_box parsing fixes!
here's to many more years of mysteriously disappearing text together.
still no word on whether this was fixed, will be fixed, or if anyone's even looking at it.

fun fact:
this broke right before my final presentation of my RAG setup, where i was proudly showcasing llamaParse's great functionality.
nothing says "great demo" like mysteriously vanishing document text...
