## About

## What it does
Receipt Data Extraction lets you send a receipt as a URL or upload a receipt file, then get parsed receipt data back. Choose whether the response comes from `apyhub` or `azure`, depending on the extraction engine you want to use.

Use `POST /url` when the receipt is already hosted online: pass a `url`, and optionally include `requested_service` and an `azure` credentials object if you want Azure processing. Use `POST /file` when you have the receipt as a binary file upload: send `file`, and optionally include `requested_service` plus Azure fields such as `azure_key`, `azure_region`, `azure_endpoint`, `azure_account_id`, and `azure_access_token`.

The response contains a `data` object with either `apyhub` or `azure` parsing output, so you can inspect the structured result that was returned for the receipt. That makes it useful for expense apps, bookkeeping workflows, purchase-order reconciliation, and any pipeline that needs to turn receipt images or PDFs into machine-readable data.

If you are building ingestion or accounting automation, this service gives you a straightforward way to extract receipt content from hosted documents or uploaded files without writing your own OCR and parsing flow.

## Usage

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
