Is there a receipt parsing API?

Yes. Receipt Extractor exposes a REST endpoint — POST a receipt file to /api/extract with your API key and receive structured JSON. No SDK required; it is a standard multipart upload.

How is the receipt API priced?

By document, not per page. Free includes 3 receipts; paid plans run from $9/mo (20 docs) to $199/mo (1,000 docs) with full API access on every tier. No per-page surprises and no enterprise minimums.

What does the API return?

A JSON object with the extracted fields (Merchant name, Date & time, Line items & prices, and more) plus a per-field confidence score. You can also request CSV/Excel exports.

How do I get an API key?

Sign up (free, no credit card), open your dashboard, and copy your key. You can start calling the API within a minute.

Can I process receipts in batch?

Yes. Use the batch and async endpoints to submit many receipts at once and poll for results — ideal for high-volume automation.
