documentation »](https://sharpapi.com/en/documentation) Who Builds on the Invoice OCR API ----------------------------------- Anywhere invoices arrive as files and your system needs numbers. ### AP Automation Capture supplier invoices from email inboxes and portals, extract the data and push it straight into approval workflows. inbox PDF → approval queue ### Accounting Software Add "drop an invoice here" to your bookkeeping product and post ledger entries from the parsed totals and VAT breakdown. scan → {net, vat[], gross} ### Expense Management Let employees photograph receipts and invoices; parse amounts, dates and vendors for instant expense claims. phone photo → expense record ### ERP Integration Feed structured invoice data into SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics or your in-house ERP without manual keying. JSON → ERP document import ### Procurement & 3-Way Matching Match parsed line items, quantities and unit prices against purchase orders and goods receipts automatically. line items ↔ PO ↔ GRN ### Document Archives Backfill years of scanned invoices into a searchable database with structured metadata per document. 50k scans → indexed JSON More document endpoints in the catalog: [ Browse Accounting & Finance APIs → ](https://sharpapi.com/en/catalog/ai/accounting-finance) Why Developers Pick This Invoice Parser ----------------------------------------- ### OCR + LLM in one call Textract-grade OCR reads the document, an LLM labels it. You never stitch two vendors together or post-process raw text yourself. ### Typed, labeled JSON schema Dates as dates, amounts as numbers, line items as arrays. The same schema for every vendor layout — your integration code stays put. ### No templates to maintain New supplier, new layout, new language? Nothing to configure. The AI structuring generalizes instead of matching rules. ### 80+ languages Parse invoices in English, German, Polish, French, Spanish and dozens more — including mixed-language documents. ### Async with webhooks 202-and-poll by default; add a webhook URL header for callbacks. Designed for batch pipelines processing thousands of documents. ### Per-word pricing, GDPR & SOC 2 No per-page OCR fees — you pay per processed word. SOC 2 Type II audited, GDPR compliant, documents processed transiently. [ ![SharpAPI SOC 2 Type II](https://sharpapi.com/build/assets/resources/images/a2zweb-soc2-Cb6pM2no.png) ](https://trust.a2zweb.co/) SharpAPI is now SOC 2 Type II compliant.

[ Start free trial ](https://sharpapi.com/register) [ See pricing ](https://sharpapi.com/en/pricing) Invoice Parsing API — FAQ --------------------------- What invoice formats and file types are supported? PDF files (native or scanned) and images — JPG, JPEG, PNG and TIFF — up to 100 MB. The OCR layer reads scans and photos, so paper invoices captured with a phone camera parse the same way as digital PDFs. What fields does the Invoice Parsing API extract? Invoice number, issue date, due date, seller and buyer names, addresses and tax IDs, individual line items with descriptions, quantities and unit prices, net, tax and gross totals, VAT rates and currency — returned as one structured JSON document. How is this different from a plain OCR service? Plain OCR gives you raw text and coordinates; you still have to figure out which number is the total and which line is a product. This endpoint combines Textract-grade OCR with LLM structuring, so the output is already labeled, typed JSON — no template rules per vendor layout. Does it handle invoices in different languages and layouts? Yes. There are no per-vendor templates to configure — the AI structuring adapts to layouts and languages it has never seen, including 80+ languages and mixed-language invoices. How much does invoice parsing cost? Pricing is per processed word, not per page or per document — plans start at $50/month, and the 14-day free trial includes 100,000 words with no credit card required. There are no separate OCR fees. Is my financial data safe? SharpAPI is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. Uploaded invoices are processed transiently and never used to train models. Details are in the Data Handling and Compliance policy.
