FormX Invoice OCR API
FormX Invoice OCR API extracts structured invoice information through a REST API for finance, accounting, and ERP systems. It can return vendor details, invoice numbers, dates, line items, subtotals, tax, grand totals, currencies, and payment terms. FormX says it combines OCR, machine learning, and large language models, and handles varied invoice layouts without templates. ZUGFeRD and Factur-X support covers visible PDF data and embedded XML. Results can be downloaded as Excel, CSV, or JSON, or delivered through API responses, webhooks, and batch processing. SDKs are listed for Python, Node.js, Java, and.NET. Named integrations include SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, Oracle NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Customers can customize or train extractors, with training from one sample image. FormX says API uploads are held in memory and discarded after extraction, encrypted with HTTPS, and not used to optimize models unless requested. Plans include pay-as-you-go at $0.30, paid once, Starter at $299 a month, and custom-priced Enterprise.
