Mindee API helper library for Python

Mindee API Helper Library for Python

Quickly and easily connect to Mindee's API services using Python.

Quick Start

Here's the TL;DR of getting started.

First, get an API Key

Then, install this library:

pip install mindee

Finally, Python away!

Loading a File and Parsing It

Global Documents

from mindee import Client, documents

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

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

# Parse the document as an invoice by passing the appropriate type
result = input_doc.parse(documents.TypeInvoiceV4)

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

Region-Specific Documents

from mindee import Client, documents

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

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

# Parse the document as a USA bank check by passing the appropriate type
result = input_doc.parse(documents.us.TypeBankCheckV1)

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

Custom Document (API Builder)

from mindee import Client, documents

# Init a new client and add your custom endpoint (document)
mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key").add_endpoint(
    account_name="john",
    endpoint_name="wnine",
)

# Load a file from disk and parse it.
# The endpoint name must be specified since it can't be determined from the class.
result = mindee_client.doc_from_path(
    "/path/to/the/file.ext"
).parse(documents.TypeCustomV1, endpoint_name="wnine")

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

# Iterate over all the fields in the document
for field_name, field_values in result.document.fields.items():
    print(field_name, "=", field_values)
