How to find text with page number in PDF document using Aspose.PDF REST API

Support,
Is there a best way/approach to search for a text string in PDF documents and obtain the Page Number using REST API’s? I am then using the page number as the “from” field for the /split operation.

Thank you for contacting Aspose Support.

We are offering search feature in our Native APIs but not in Cloud APIs. Please check Aspose.PDF API Reference guide for a complete list of REST APIs.

We have logged the feature request (PDFCLOUD-259) for our Development team to provide PDF search functionality in REST APIs. We will update you here as soon this feature is implemented.

We have already implemented your requested feature. Please find sample C# sample code as following and check GetText API method for more details.

var textResponce = pdfApi.GetText("<input_file_name>", 0, 0, 2000, 2000, new List<string>() { "Search text" }, null, true, "<folder_on_storage>");
        foreach (var item in textResponce.TextOccurences.List)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Search text on the page {item.Page}");
        }
