🧾 AI OCR for Tax Documents (Invoices, Balance Sheets & Tables)

Turn invoices, receipts, balance sheets, bank statements and tabular PDFs into clean, structured JSON with AI. Upload a file or pass document URLs, and get back the document type, issuer/recipient, dates, totals, taxes, line-item tables and a summary - ready for your accounting system or spreadsheet.

🎯 Built for Tax & accounting teams. Not a generic text dump: the AI detects the document type and extracts the fields that matter, plus the tables, preserving layout meaning.

What you get (per document)

How to use

Upload a file in the input, or pass URLs for batch:

{
"documentUrls":[
"https://example.com/invoice.pdf",
"https://example.com/receipt.jpg"
]
}

Supports PDF, PNG, JPG and WebP. Up to 50 documents per run (send larger volumes via sequential calls). PDFs are read natively (multi-page); images are auto-optimized before analysis.

Pricing

Charged per document successfully extracted (event tax-document-extracted). Documents that fail to download or can't be read are not charged.

FAQ

Which documents work best? Clear digital PDFs and sharp scans/photos. Very low-resolution or handwritten documents may not be readable - the reason is reported in failureReason.

Does it handle multi-page PDFs? Yes. PDFs are read natively, including tables and layout, across pages.

Can I upload a file directly? Yes - use the upload field in the input, or call the API with a document URL.

Can I call it in real time? Yes. The Standby endpoint POST /extract responds synchronously. See below.

🔌 API integration

Batch run:

curl-X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/acme-ai~ocr-tax-document-ai/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN"\
-H"Content-Type: application/json"\
-d'{"documentUrls":["https://example.com/invoice.pdf","https://example.com/receipt.jpg"]}'

Standby (POST /extract):

curl-X POST "https://acme-ai--ocr-tax-document-ai.apify.actor/extract"\
-H"Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"\
-H"Content-Type: application/json"\
--compressed\
-d'{"documentUrls":["https://example.com/invoice.pdf","https://example.com/receipt.jpg"]}'

The token goes in the Authorization: Bearer header, never in the URL.
