invoicedataextraction-sdk 0.3.0

Official Python SDK for Invoice Data Extraction.

invoicedataextraction-sdk

Official Python SDK for Invoice Data Extraction. Handles file upload, extraction submission, polling, and result download so you can go from local files to structured output in a few lines of code.

• Python 3.9 or later

Install

pip install invoicedataextraction-sdk

Quick Start

import json
import os
import sys

from invoicedataextraction import InvoiceDataExtraction
from invoicedataextraction.errors import SdkError, ApiResponseError

try:
    client = InvoiceDataExtraction(
        api_key=os.environ.get("INVOICE_DATA_EXTRACTION_API_KEY"),
    )

    result = client.extract(
        folder_path="./invoices",
        prompt="Extract invoice number and total",
        output_structure="per_invoice",
        download={
            "formats": ["xlsx", "json"],
            "output_path": "./output",
        },
        console_output=True,  # remove to disable console logging
    )
except (SdkError, ApiResponseError) as error:
    print(json.dumps(error.body, indent=2), file=sys.stderr)
    raise SystemExit(1)

extract(...) uploads your files (pass a folder_path or a list of files), submits the extraction, polls until it finishes, and downloads the results. The returned result is the final polling response from the API. For completed responses, check result["pages"]["failed_count"] to verify that all uploaded pages were processed successfully, and check result["review_needed"]["count"] for any extracted values that require human verification before relying on the extracted data.

Generate an API key from your dashboard. Every account includes 50 free pages per month. Additional credits can be purchased on a pay-as-you-go basis with no subscription needed.

Staged Workflow

If you need control over individual steps — for example, uploading files in one part of your system and extracting in another — use the lower-level methods:

import json
import os
import sys

from invoicedataextraction import InvoiceDataExtraction
from invoicedataextraction.errors import SdkError, ApiResponseError

try:
    client = InvoiceDataExtraction(
        api_key=os.environ.get("INVOICE_DATA_EXTRACTION_API_KEY"),
    )

    upload = client.upload_files(
        files=["./invoice1.pdf", "./invoice2.pdf"],
        console_output=True,
    )

    submitted = client.submit_extraction(
        upload_session_id=upload["upload_session_id"],
        file_ids=upload["file_ids"],
        prompt="Extract invoice number and total",
        output_structure="per_invoice",
    )

    result = client.wait_for_extraction_to_finish(
        extraction_id=submitted["extraction_id"],
        console_output=True,
    )

    client.download_output(
        extraction_id=submitted["extraction_id"],
        format="xlsx",
        file_path="./output/invoices.xlsx",
    )
except (SdkError, ApiResponseError) as error:
    print(json.dumps(error.body, indent=2), file=sys.stderr)
    raise SystemExit(1)

Listing past extractions

# One-page browse with filters
page = client.list_extractions(
    status="completed",
    limit=50,
)

# Auto-paginating iterator over every matching extraction
for extraction in client.iterate_extractions(status="completed"):
    print(extraction["extraction_id"], extraction["task_name"])

# Full record (the original prompt, options, full pages, full failure error, etc.)
result = client.get_extraction(extraction_id="...")
extraction = result["extraction"]

On listing methods, team admins can pass scope="team" to see extractions submitted by any team member; pass scope="own" to force own-only results.

Error Handling

SDK methods raise SdkError or ApiResponseError on failure. The structured error body is on error.body, with fields error.body["error"]["code"], error.body["error"]["message"], error.body["error"]["retryable"], and error.body["error"]["details"].

When an extraction task itself reaches a terminal state, extract(...) returns that response rather than raising — check result["status"] for "completed", "failed", or "cancelled" for tasks cancelled from the web app. See the full docs for details.
