## About

## What it does
Invoice Parser extracts structured invoice data from a file you upload and gives you a job-based result you can poll for status and output.

Send a PDF, DOC, DOCX, PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, or TIF invoice in the request body. You can also set `language`; if you omit it, the service defaults to English. The submit response returns a `job_id` and a `status_url`, so you can track the asynchronous parse without holding the connection open.

When the job finishes, the status endpoint returns the job `status` along with parsed `result` data. That result can include buyer details with billing address fields, seller details with VAT ID and address fields, invoice metadata such as currency, issue date, and invoice number, a `document.is_invoice` flag, financial totals, and line items with quantity, subtotal, unit price, and description.

Use Invoice Parser when you need to capture invoice data for accounts payable workflows, receipt reconciliation, expense systems, or downstream validation. It is suited to document ingestion pipelines where you want to turn invoice files into structured records instead of handling OCR output yourself.
