Image or PDF
Send a URL or base64 image, or a PDF. One endpoint handles all of it.
Full line items
Every purchased item with quantity and price — not just the totals.
Strict schema
Every field is always present (null if missing). No defensive parsing.
Fast & simple
A single REST call returns clean JSON in seconds.
Multi-currency
Detects the currency (ISO 4217) from symbols and formatting.
Reliable
Secured, monitored, and always-on. Built for production use.
