The Python OCR SDK supports the Invoice API.

Using the sample below, we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the OCR SDK.

Quick-Start

#
# Install the Python client library by running:
# pip install mindee
#

from mindee import Client, PredictResponse, product

# Init a new client
mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key")

# Load a file from disk
input_doc = mindee_client.source_from_path("/path/to/the/file.ext")

# Load a file from disk and parse it.
result: PredictResponse = mindee_client.parse(
    product.InvoiceV4,
    input_doc,
)

# Print a summary of the API result
print(result.document)

# Print the document-level summary
# print(result.document.inference.prediction)

You can also call this product asynchronously:

#
# Install the Python client library by running:
# pip install mindee
#

from mindee import Client, product, AsyncPredictResponse

# Init a new client
mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key")

# Load a file from disk
input_doc = mindee_client.source_from_path("/path/to/the/file.ext")

# Load a file from disk and enqueue it.
result: AsyncPredictResponse = mindee_client.enqueue_and_parse(
    product.InvoiceV4,
    input_doc,
)

# Print a brief summary of the parsed data
print(result.document)

Output (RST):

Field Types

Standard Fields

These fields are generic and used in several products.

BaseField

Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic BaseField class. A typical BaseField object will have the following attributes:

value (Union[float, str]): corresponds to the field value. Can be None if no value was extracted.
confidence (float): the confidence score of the field prediction.
bounding_box ([Point, Point, Point, Point]): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.
polygon (List[Point]): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point) of a polygon containing the field in the image.
page_id (int): the ID of the page, always None when at document-level.
reconstructed (bool): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).

Note: A Point simply refers to a List of two numbers ([float, float]).

Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a custom __str__ method that can be used to print their value as a string.

AddressField

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the address field AddressField also implements the following:

street_number (str): String representation of the street number. Can be None.
street_name (str): Name of the street. Can be None.
po_box (str): String representation of the PO Box number. Can be None.
address_complement (str): Address complement. Can be None.
city (str): City name. Can be None.
postal_code (str): String representation of the postal code. Can be None.
state (str): State name. Can be None.
country (str): Country name. Can be None.

Note: The value field of an AddressField should be a concatenation of the rest of the values.

AmountField

The amount field AmountField only has one constraint: its value is an Optional[float].

ClassificationField

The classification field ClassificationField does not implement all the basic BaseField attributes. It only implements value, confidence and page_id.

Note: a classification field's value is always a str`.

CompanyRegistrationField

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the company registration field CompanyRegistrationField also implements the following:

type (str): the type of company.

DateField

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the date field DateField also implements the following:

date_object (Date): an accessible representation of the value as a python object. Can be None.

LocaleField

The locale field LocaleField only implements the value, confidence and page_id base BaseField attributes, but it comes with its own:

language (str): ISO 639-1 language code (e.g.: en for English). Can be None.
country (str): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for countries (e.g.: GRB or GB for "Great Britain"). Can be None.
currency (str): ISO 4217 code for currencies (e.g.: USD for "US Dollars"). Can be None.

PaymentDetailsField

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the payment details field PaymentDetailsField also implements the following:

account_number (str): number of an account, expressed as a string. Can be None.
iban (str): International Bank Account Number. Can be None.
routing_number (str): routing number of an account. Can be None.
swift (str): the account holder's bank's SWIFT Business Identifier Code (BIC). Can be None.

StringField

The text field StringField only has one constraint: its value is an Optional[str].

TaxesField

Tax

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the tax field TaxField also implements the following:

rate (float): the tax rate applied to an item expressed as a percentage. Can be None.
code (str): tax code (or equivalent, depending on the origin of the document). Can be None.
basis (float): base amount used for the tax. Can be None.
value (float): the value of the tax. Can be None.

Note: currently TaxField is not used on its own, and is accessed through a parent Taxes object, a list-like structure.

Taxes (Array)

The Taxes field represents a list-like collection of TaxField objects. As it is the representation of several objects, it has access to a custom __str__ method that can render a TaxField object as a table line.

Specific Fields

Fields which are specific to this product; they are not used in any other product.

Line Items Field

List of all the line items present on the invoice.

A InvoiceV4LineItem implements the following attributes:

description (str): The item description.
product_code (str): The product code of the item.
quantity (float): The item quantity
tax_amount (float): The item tax amount.
tax_rate (float): The item tax rate in percentage.
