## About

## What it does
Invoice Parser takes an invoice file, submits it for asynchronous processing, and returns structured invoice data you can use in your application. Send a PDF, DOC, DOCX, PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, or TIF file, and optionally set the document language. You get back a job ID and a status URL for polling.

Use it when you need to turn supplier invoices into machine-readable records without building your own extraction pipeline. The status endpoint reports the job state as `queued`, `running`, `success`, or `failed`, and when processing completes it returns the extracted result set.

The parsed output can include buyer details with a billing address, seller details with a VAT ID and address, invoice metadata such as currency, issue date, and invoice number, a boolean `is_invoice` flag, financial totals including subtotal, total payable, and total tax amount, plus line items with quantity, subtotal, unit price, and description.

Invoice Parser is a good fit for accounts payable workflows, expense systems, document ingestion, and back-office automation where invoice fields need to be captured consistently from scanned or digital files.
