API Documentation | Receipt Parsing API

This section provides guidelines for structuring your Receipt Parsing API requests to Extracta.ai. Ensure to follow the format below for successful data extraction:

Request Format

{
    "extractionDetails": {
        "name": "Extraction Name", // required - Name your extraction process
        "language": "Supported Language", // required - Choose from the supported languages
        "fields": [
            {
                "key": "Field Key", // required - Define the key for data extraction
                "description": "Field Description", // optional - Describe the field
                "example": "Field Example" // optional - Provide an example value
            },
            ...
        ]
    },
    "file": "base64String or file URL" // required - Provide the document in base64String format or as a URL
}

Advanced Format

In addition to the basic format outlined in the previous sections, Extracta.ai also supports more complex data structures for specialized extraction needs. This advanced format allows the definition of nested objects and arrays, catering to a broader range of data representation.

Type object

The object type represents a structured object with multiple properties. Each property is defined as an object within an array, and can include its own key, description, type, and example.

{
    "key": "personal_info",
    "description": "Personal information of the person", // optional
    "type": "object",
    "properties": [
        {
            "key": "name",
            "description": "Name of the person", // optional
            "example": "Alex Smith", // optional
            "type": "string" // optional
        },
        {
            "key": "email",
            "description": "Email of the person",
            "example": "alex.smith@gmail.com",
            "type": "string"
        },
        .....
    ]
}

Type array

The array type is used for lists of items, such as a collection of work experiences. The items key contains an object defining the structure of each item in the array.

{
    "key": "work_experience",
    "description": "Work experience of the person", // optional
    "type": "array",
    "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": [
            {
                "key": "title",
                "description": "Title of the job", // optional
                "example": "Software Engineer", // optional
                "type": "string" // optional
            },
            {
                "key": "start_date",
                "description": "Start date of the job",
                "example": "2022",
                "type": "string"
            },
            ...
        ]
    }
}

Notes on Usage

• For both object and array types, the example parameter is applicable only for their inner properties/items.
• When defining fields, if no type is specified, it defaults to string.
• For object and array types, the inner fields can only be of type string. This means that each property within an object or each item within an array should be a string type, ensuring consistency and simplicity in data representation.
• These advanced field types enable more detailed and structured data representation, enhancing the capabilities of Extracta.ai’s data extraction process.

Supported File Types

Extracta.ai is capable of processing documents in image (JPG, PNG), PDF, and DOCX formats. This enhancement allows for a wider range of document types to be submitted for extraction.

Supported Languages

Extracta.ai currently supports document extraction in the following languages: Romanian, English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, German, Italian. Additional support for 20 more languages is planned by January.

Note: If an unsupported language is specified, the API will return an error message indicating an invalid language choice. Keep updated with our API documentation for new language additions.
