=========== Extract API =========== Odoo provides a service to automate the processing of documents of type **invoices**, **expenses** or **resumes**. The service scans documents using an :abbr:`OCR (Optical Character Recognition)` engine and then uses :abbr:`AI(Artificial Intelligence)`-based algorithms to extract fields of interest such as the total, due date, or invoice lines for *invoices*, the total, date, payment reference for *expenses*, or the name, email, phone number for *resumes*. This service is a paid service. Each document processing will cost you one credit. Credits can be bought on `iap.odoo.com `_. You can either use this service directly in the Accounting, Expense, or Recruitment App or through the API. The Extract API, which is detailed in the next section, allows you to integrate our service directly into your own projects. Overview ======== The extract API uses the JSON-RPC2_ protocol; its endpoint routes are located at `https://extract.api.odoo.com`. Version ------- The version of the Extract API is specified in the route. The latest versions are: - invoices: 122 - expenses: 132 - applicant: 102 Flow ---- The flow is the same for the three services. #. | Call :ref:`/parse ` to submit your invoices (one call for each invoice). On success, you receive a `document_uuid` in the response. #. | You then have to regularly poll :ref:`/get_result ` to get the document's parsing status. | Alternatively, you can provide a `webhook_url` at the time of the call to :ref:`/parse ` and you will be notified (via a POST request) when the result is ready. #. | Once the result is received, you can validate it by calling :ref:`/validate ` and sending the expected values. | This step is optional but greatly helps the system to improve. The HTTP POST method should be used for all of them. A python implementation of the full flow for invoices can be found :download:`here ` and a token for integration testing is provided in the :ref:`integration testing section `. Parse ===== Request the processing of a document from the OCR. The route will return a `document_uuid` (it replaces `document_id`, which is deprecated); you can use it to obtain the result of your request. .. _extract_api/parse: Routes ------ - /api/extract/invoice/1/parse - /api/extract/expense/1/parse - /api/extract/applicant/1/parse - |ss| /iap/invoice_extract/parse |se| (deprecated) - |ss| /iap/expense_extract/parse |se| (deprecated) Request ------- .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``jsonrpc`` (required) see JSON-RPC2_ ``method`` (required) see JSON-RPC2_ ``id`` (required) see JSON-RPC2_ ``params`` .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``account_token`` (required) The token of the account from which credits will be taken. Each successful call costs one token. ``version`` (optional) The version will determine the format of your requests and the format of the server response. Some results can be unavailable in older versions. If not specified, the latest version will be used. ``documents`` (required) The document must be provided as a string in the ASCII encoding. The list should contain only one string. If multiple strings are provided only the first string corresponding to a pdf will be processed. If no pdf is found, the first string will be processed. This field is a list only for legacy reasons. The supported extensions are *pdf*, *png*, *jpg* and *bmp*. ``dbuuid`` (optional) Unique identifier of the Odoo database. ``webhook_url`` (optional) A webhook URL can be provided. An empty POST request will be sent to ``webhook_url/document_uuid`` when the result is ready. ``user_infos`` (optional) Information concerning the person sending the document to the extract service. It can be the client or the supplier (depending on the ``perspective``). This information is not required in order for the service to work but it greatly improves the quality of the result. .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``user_company_vat`` (optional) VAT number of the user. ``user_company_name`` (optional) Name of the user’s company. ``user_company_country_code`` (optional) Country code of the user. Format: `ISO3166 alpha-2 `_. ``user_lang`` (optional) The user language. Format: *language_code + _ + locale* (e.g. fr_FR, en_US). ``user_email`` (optional) The user email. ``purchase_order_regex`` (optional) Regex for purchase order identification. Will default to Odoo PO format if not provided. ``perspective`` (optional) .. rst-class:: o-definition-list Can be ``client`` or ``supplier``. This field is useful for invoices only. ``client`` means that the user information provided are related to the client of the invoice. ``supplier`` means that it's related to the supplier. If not provided, client will be used. .. code-block:: js { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "call", "params": { "account_token": string (hex), "version": int, "documents": [string], "user_infos": { "user_company_vat": string, "user_company_name": string, "user_company_country_code": string, "user_lang": string, "user_email": string, "purchase_order_regex": string, "perspective": string, }, }, "id": string, } .. note:: The ``user_infos`` parameter is optional but it greatly improves the quality of the result, especially for invoices. The more information you can provide, the better.

Please use ``document_uuid`` instead. Version introducing ``document_uuid``: - invoices: 122 - expenses: 132 - applicant: 102 .. note:: The API does not actually use the JSON-RPC error scheme. Instead the API has its own error scheme bundled inside a successful JSON-RPC result.

The keys of the dictionary are the name of the field and the value is the value of the field. .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``jsonrpc`` see JSON-RPC2_ ``id`` see JSON-RPC2_ ``result`` Dictionary where each key is a document_id.

Candidates are sorted by decreasing order of suitability. .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``content`` Representation of the candidate. ``coords`` .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``[center_x, center_y, width, height, rotation_angle]``. The position and dimensions are relative to the size of the page and are therefore between 0 and 1. The angle is a clockwise rotation measured in degrees. ``page`` Page of the original document on which the candidate is located (starts at 0). .. code-block:: js "candidate": [ { "content": string|float, "coords": [float, float, float, float, float], "page": int }, ... ] Invoices ~~~~~~~~ Invoices are complex and can have a lot of different fields.

By telling the system if it were right or wrong for each feature you give an important feedback. It has no direct impact but it helps the system to greatly improve its prediction accuracy for the documents you will send in the future. .. _extract_api/validate: Routes ------ - /api/extract/invoice/1/validate - /api/extract/invoice/1/validate_batch - /api/extract/expense/1/validate - /api/extract/expense/1/validate_batch - /api/extract/applicant/1/validate - /api/extract/applicant/1/validate_batch - |ss| /iap/invoice_extract/validate |se| (deprecated) - |ss| /iap/expense_extract/validate |se| (deprecated) Request ------- .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``jsonrpc`` (required) see JSON-RPC2_ ``method`` (required) see JSON-RPC2_ ``id`` (required) see JSON-RPC2_ ``params`` (``/validate`` route only) dictionary containing the following fields .. rst-class:: o-definition-list ``document_uuid`` (required, replaces ``document_id``) |SAME_AS_PARSE| ``values`` Contains the validation for each feature.

However :ref:`/validate ` can't be called multiple times for a same document. Therefore you should validate all the features you want to validate at once. validation ~~~~~~~~~~ A **validation** for a given feature is a dictionary containing the textual representation of the expected value for this given feature.

Using this token put you in test mode and allows you to simulate the entire flow without really parsing a document and without being billed one credit for each successful **document** parsing. The only technical differences in test mode is that the document you send is not parsed by the system and that the response you get from :ref:`/get_result ` is a hard-coded one.
