Automate Invoice Processing with AI

Stop manually entering invoice data. Learn how to use AI to automatically extract vendor information, amounts, line items, and more from any invoice format.

Python Integration

import requests

def extract_invoice(file_path, api_key):
    url = "https://api.chargedapi.com/ai/extract/invoice"
    
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        response = requests.post(

            headers={"X-API-Key": api_key},
            files={"file": f}
        )
    
    return response.json()

# Process invoice
data = extract_invoice("invoice.pdf", "YOUR_API_KEY")

# Use extracted data
