AI Document Receipt Data Extraction API

Hosted on ApyHub

What it does

Receipt Extraction reads a receipt from a file upload or a URL and returns parsed receipt data. Send a receipt image or PDF, and choose whether you want the ApyHub result, the raw Azure Document Intelligence output, or both.

Use the /file endpoint when you already have the receipt content in hand. It accepts a binary file plus optional Azure settings such as azure_key, azure_region, azure_endpoint, azure_account_id, azure_access_token, and requested_service. Use the /url endpoint when the receipt is hosted remotely; it takes a url, optional azure credentials object, and requested_service.

The response is wrapped under data and includes azure and apyhub objects, matching the service you requested. That makes it useful when you need receipt parsing in expense apps, accounting workflows, or backend systems that ingest vendor receipts and store extracted data for review or downstream processing.
