Invoice Parsing API

About Invoice Parsing API

Invoice Parser accepts an invoice file (PDF, DOC, DOCX, PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, or TIF) and processes it asynchronously, returning a job ID and status URL. The status endpoint reports job state as queued, running, success, or failed, and returns the extracted data once processing completes. Callers can optionally specify the invoice's document language, which defaults to English.

The parsed output includes buyer details with a billing address, seller details with a VAT ID and address, invoice metadata such as currency, issue date, and invoice number, an is_invoice classification flag, financial totals (subtotal, total payable, total tax amount), and line items with quantity, subtotal, unit price, and description.

The API is intended for accounts payable workflows, expense systems, document ingestion, and back-office automation that need invoice fields captured consistently from scanned or digital files without building a custom extraction pipeline. It consists of two endpoints: a POST endpoint to submit a file for parsing and a GET endpoint to poll job status by job ID, with polling limited to once per second.
