This function uses a public grobid server maintained by Patrice Lopez. You can set up your own local grobid server following instructions from https://grobid.readthedocs.io/ and set the argument api_url to its path (probably http://localhost:8070)
Usage
convert_grobid(
file_path,
save_path = ".",
api_url = "http://localhost:8070",
start_page = -1,
end_page = -1,
consolidate_citations = 0,
consolidate_header = 0,

Details
Consolidation of citations, headers, and funders looks up these items in CrossRef or another database to fix or enhance information (see https://grobid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Consolidation/). This can slow down conversion. Consolidating headers is only useful for published papers, and can be set to 0 for work in prep.
