Solutions / Invoice parsing
AI invoice parser for structured, relational data
Extract invoice headers, vendors, taxes, payment terms, totals, and repeating line items into a schema your application can query and reuse.
- ✓ Reusable relational schema
- ✓ Dashboard or API workflow
- ✓ SQLite, JSON, CSV, or XML export
Product video coming soon
See an invoice become a relational database
This video will show an invoice being uploaded, extracted into invoice and line-item tables, queried with SQL, and retrieved through the API.
Transformation
invoice.pdf → PDFParse → invoices + vendors + line_items
Relational output
Select a relationship to explore →
invoices
Relationship: invoices.id → invoice_line_items.invoice_id
Try the API
Extract from your code.
Submit an uploaded document using an existing schema. PDFParse queues processing asynchronously; retrieve completed records through the same API. Applications and AI agents use this endpoint too.
# Documents must already be uploaded to your active project.

"tableSlug": "invoices",
"documentKeys": ["uploaded-document-id"]
}'

Common questions.
Can PDFParse extract invoice line items?
Yes. Use a child line-items table linked to each invoice record.
Can it process scanned invoices?
Yes. PDFParse supports scanned and digital PDFs.
Can I define a custom invoice schema?
Yes. Define a reusable schema for the header and repeating rows you need.
Can one schema process multiple invoice layouts?
Yes. A reusable schema is designed to normalize recurring document formats.
Can invoices be exported to SQLite or JSON?
Yes. Export structured results as SQLite, JSON, CSV, or XML.
Is there a PDFParse API?
Yes. Use project-scoped API keys to create extraction jobs and retrieve structured records from your active project.
Can AI agents use this workflow?
Yes. Applications and AI agents can use the same project-scoped API endpoints after documents are uploaded and a schema is available.
