Submitting documents via the API
ParseMe's REST API lets you upload documents, trigger extractions, and retrieve results programmatically — without opening the dashboard. The API badge means the document was submitted this way, usually from your own application, a script, or an automation platform like Zapier or n8n.
API quick start
- Get your API key from the API Keys page in the dashboard
- POST your file to https://api.parseme.co/api/extraction/extract with X-API-Key header
- Optionally include template_id to use a specific extraction schema
- Poll GET /api/extraction/extract/{jobId} until status is 'completed'
- Read extracted data from the response JSON, or receive it via webhook
Common API use cases
- Automate invoice processing — upload invoices from your ERP system as they arrive
- Resume screening pipeline — upload CVs from your ATS and extract skills and experience
- Receipt expense management — upload receipt photos from your mobile app
- Contract review — submit contracts for clause extraction before legal review
- Batch processing — upload hundreds of documents in parallel and collect results via webhooks
よくある質問
Is the API on the free plan?
The API is available from the Starter plan ($29/month). Free plan users can use the web interface and email forwarding.
Can I use webhooks instead of polling?
Yes — configure a webhook URL in your account settings. ParseMe will POST the extracted JSON to your endpoint as soon as each document completes.
What is the API rate limit?
Default: 100 requests per 15 minutes per API key. Contact support for higher limits on Business plans.
