Automate invoice data capture with a single API call. Extract vendor names, invoice numbers, line items, totals, tax amounts, and due dates from any invoice format. No templates, no training data, no manual entry.
Send an invoice to the extraction endpoint with a schema defining the fields you need. Get structured JSON back with vendor details, line items, totals, and dates.

}Three steps to go from a raw invoice to structured data. No templates, no training — the API adapts to any invoice format automatically.
Upload any invoice as a PDF or image to the API endpoint. Works with digital invoices, scanned copies, and photos — any vendor, any layout.
The API understands the invoice layout, identifies vendor details, line items, totals, tax amounts, and dates — matching them to your schema fields.
Receive clean, typed JSON with all invoice fields. Ready to import into your ERP, accounting system, or accounts payable workflow.
Built for developers who need reliable invoice data extraction without the complexity of traditional OCR pipelines or template-based systems.
No templates or fixed rules. The API adapts to any invoice format — different vendors, languages, and layouts are handled automatically without configuration.
Extracts amounts in any currency — USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, and more. Correctly identifies currency symbols, codes, and decimal formatting across locales.
Accurately extracts individual line items from invoice tables — descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and amounts — regardless of table formatting.
Extracts subtotals, tax amounts, tax rates, discounts, and grand totals. Handles multiple tax lines, VAT, GST, and sales tax across different regions.
Extracts and normalizes invoice dates, due dates, and payment terms. Handles various date formats — MM/DD/YYYY, DD.MM.YYYY, written months, and more.
Process hundreds of invoices programmatically. Use the asynchronous endpoint for large volumes, with webhooks or polling to track extraction progress.
The same API works across all your document processing needs. Define a schema once, extract data from thousands of documents.
Extract structured JSON data from any document type with AI-powered parsing and custom schemas.
Parse store names, totals, items, and payment methods from receipts and POS printouts.
Extract fields from applications, surveys, tax forms, and government documents.
Convert any PDF into structured data. Works with digital and scanned PDFs across all languages.
Common questions about the invoice extraction API.
Yes. Parse uses AI to understand document context rather than relying on fixed templates. It adapts to different invoice formats, whether they come from a small business, a large enterprise, or an international supplier. No configuration or training is needed for new layouts.
Yes. Parse extracts currency symbols, codes, and amounts from invoices in any currency. Whether the invoice uses USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, or any other currency, the API identifies and returns the correct values along with the currency information.
Define a line_items array in your schema with the fields you need — description, quantity, unit price, amount, tax rate, etc. The API identifies the table structure in the invoice and extracts each row as a separate object in the array, regardless of table formatting or layout.
Yes. Parse is designed for integration into AP workflows. Extract vendor names, invoice numbers, dates, due dates, totals, and line items via the API, then feed the structured JSON directly into your ERP, accounting software, or payment system. The free tier includes 100 pages per month to get started.
Parse uses large language models that understand document context, not just OCR pattern matching. This means it correctly identifies fields even when invoice layouts vary significantly. Accuracy depends on document quality, but structured invoices — both digital and scanned — typically achieve high extraction rates for key fields like totals, dates, and vendor information.
Get your API key and extract data from your first invoice in minutes. 100 pages per month free — no credit card required.
