Parse invoice PDF API, frequently asked questions
How do I parse an invoice PDF with an API?
Upload the PDF to Parseify's /api/v1/documents endpoint with your API key. The parse invoice PDF API returns structured JSON with vendor, totals, tax, and line items — not a page of OCR text.
Does the parse invoice PDF API handle multi-page invoices?
Yes. Multi-page PDF invoices are accepted (up to 20 MB) and returned in the same JSON schema as single-page files.
Do I need PDF templates to parse invoices?
No. Parseify is tuned for invoices and receipts out of the box. You do not define per-vendor PDF templates or train a model before first use.
What is the difference between parsing a PDF and converting it to JSON?
Parsing extracts business meaning from the PDF. Parseify returns that meaning as JSON fields your application can trust — see also convert invoice PDF to JSON for the conversion workflow.
