# Footnote Citation Review

> Link footnote markers to body references for research, legal, and financial review.

## Goal

Extract footnote references so reviewers can see which body text depends on which footnote explanation.

## Sample Document

Use [Attention Is All You Need](https://platform.runpulse.com/dashboard/examples/3be15d23-d622-4f27-9843-ec2929140eec). The sample has visible footnote markers and a Platform Footnotes tab.

## Request

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.runpulse.com/extract \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_url": "https://platform.runpulse.com/api/examples/3be15d23-d622-4f27-9843-ec2929140eec/pdf",
    "extensions": {
      "footnote_references": true
    },
    "storage": {"enabled": true}
  }'
```

## Output To Use

```python theme={null}
footnotes = result.get("extensions", {}).get("footnoteReferences", [])

for item in footnotes:
    print("marker:", item.get("marker"))
    print("footnote text id:", item.get("footnoteTextId"))
    print("body references:", item.get("references"))
```

## Checks

* Use footnote references when footnotes change legal, financial, or scientific meaning.
* Store footnote references with extracted answers that cite affected text.
* Review symbol-heavy documents manually the first time you add a new document family.
* Keep standard citations too; footnote links complement citations rather than replacing them.
