Document Extraction API for Developers

Add AI document data extraction to your own product or workflow. Data Alchemy exposes its Intelligent Document Processing engine through a REST API, webhooks and SQL connectors: send invoices, delivery notes (DDT), orders or contracts and get back structured, validated JSON — 99.8% accuracy in about 3 seconds per document, ready to post into your ERP.

What it is

An IDP API that turns documents into structured data

The document extraction API is the programmatic side of Data Alchemy's Intelligent Document Processing platform. Instead of clicking through a web app, your systems submit documents and receive validated, structured data in return — so you can embed invoice, DDT and order extraction directly into your own software, automate your accounts-payable pipeline, or feed any ERP or CRM without manual re-keying. For REST endpoints, webhook payloads and the output data schema, see the developer API documentation.

Capabilities

Everything you need to integrate document extraction

REST API

Submit a document and retrieve its extracted, validated data as structured JSON — header fields, line items, totals, taxes and references — ready to map onto your ERP.

Webhooks

Build asynchronous pipelines: Data Alchemy notifies your endpoint when each document has been processed, so you never poll for results.

SQL connectors

Prefer database-level integration? Push extracted data straight into your system through direct SQL connectors, no middleware required.

Email acquisition

Connect a Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailbox and let the AI filter and ingest business documents automatically — integration with zero code.

Structured JSON output

Every document returns clean, typed JSON validated against your master data, so downstream systems consume reliable data instead of raw text.

A dedicated LLM per document model

Each document type is processed by the best model for the job (today Claude AI), reaching 99.8% accuracy in about 3 seconds, with no templates.

Integration flow

From document to structured data in four steps

Step 1

Submit

Send a document to the REST API, drop it via SQL, or let the platform pull it from a connected mailbox.

Step 2

Extract & classify

A dedicated LLM classifies the document and extracts every field — no layout training, no templates.

Step 3

Validate

The extracted data is checked against your ERP master data in real time, flagging anomalies before they propagate.

Step 4

Deliver

Receive structured JSON via API response or webhook, then post it into SAP, Zucchetti, TeamSystem or any other system.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the document extraction API

What is the Data Alchemy document extraction API?

It is the programmatic interface to Data Alchemy's Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) engine. Instead of using the web app, your systems submit documents — invoices, delivery notes (DDT), purchase orders, contracts, price lists — and receive back structured, validated data ready to write into your ERP or CRM.

Which integration methods are available?

Data Alchemy exposes a REST API and webhooks for event-driven workflows, plus direct SQL connectors for systems that prefer database-level integration. Documents can also be acquired automatically from a Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailbox, with no code at all.

What format does the extracted data come back in?

Extracted fields are returned as structured JSON — header data, line items, totals, taxes and document references — already validated against your ERP master data, so it can be mapped directly onto your system of record.

How accurate and fast is the extraction?

Data Alchemy assigns a dedicated LLM to each document model (today Claude AI), reaching 99.8% accuracy in about 3 seconds per document, with no templates and no per-layout training.

Which ERPs and systems can I write the data into?

The API is system-agnostic: native integrations exist for SAP, Zucchetti and TeamSystem, and the REST API, webhooks and SQL connectors let you push structured data into any other ERP, CRM or internal application.
