}How it works
Three steps from document to structured data
Upload your document
Send a receipt or invoice as PDF, JPG, PNG, or CSV using a simple multipart POST request.
Extraction runs in ~3s
The API validates your file, processes it through the extraction pipeline, and normalizes the output.
Receive clean JSON
Get structured data including merchant, date, totals, line items, and fallback status.
Send a file. Get structured data.
No parsing, no layout detection, no regex chains. Just send your file and receive clean JSON with every financial field extracted and normalized.
