# Python Example

​

## Get text chunks

​

Get all the labels that match the document.

​

```py

import json

import requests

​

api_host = 'https://api.lettria.com'

api_route = api_host + '/parse'

​

document_file_name = 'file.html'

document_file_location = './data/'

​

jwt_token_file = 'jwt_token.txt'

jwt_token = open(jwt_token_file, 'r').read()

​

chunks = []

with open(document_file_location + document_file_name, 'rb') as file:

    response = requests.post(

        api_route,

        files=[('file', ( document_file_name, file))],

        headers={"Authorization":"LettriaProKey " + jwt_token}

    ).json()

    chunks = response['chunks']

​

text_chunks = [ chunk for chunk in chunks if chunk['type'] == 'text' ]

print(json.dumps(text_chunks, indent=4, sort_keys=True))

text_content = '\n'.join([ chunk['content'] for chunk in text_chunks ])

print(text_content)

```

​

In this code, the document is sent to Lettria for parsing. ON it's return, text chunks are extracted and printed.
