How it works

Three steps from document to structured data

STEP 01

Upload your document

Send a receipt or invoice as PDF, PDF, JPG, PNG, or CSV using a simple multipart POST request.

STEP 02

Extraction runs instantly

The API validates your file, processes it through the extraction pipeline, and normalizes the output.

STEP 03

Receive clean JSON

Get structured data including merchant, date, totals, line items, and fallback status.

One API call

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.
