# Create Document Processing Job

> Create a document processing job that can be tracked through the Jobs API.

This endpoint creates a `document_process` job for a file URL and returns it
immediately. Poll the job status via [Get Job](/api-reference/jobs/get-job).
To make content searchable today, pass extracted text to
[Vectorize Content](/api-reference/documents/vectorize).
