That is one of your three options, yes.
Ok awesome. What are the other 2 options, other then saving it then?
See my earlier response - Can't parse InMemoryUploadedFile object in Django using API - #17 by KenWhitesell
Ok awesome. Thank you so much! I will reply again is nothing works. Hopefully this is the last time.
Thanks @KenWhitesell
Just to add a note here: Ken is nudging you to look at the documentation, but you might be looking at the wrong documentation.
You linked the Apache Tika API documentation, however you are using the tika-python package which wraps around it. Have a look here and here, I suspect this will help combined with the info that Ken already shared.
Awesome thanks @awtimmering
