Nutrient Data Extraction API

What is Nutrient Data Extraction API?

Nutrient Data Extraction API turns PDFs, scans, images, and Office files into structured data your software can use. It returns spatial JSON or clean Markdown with confidence scores, page coordinates, and reading order. Teams use it to pull fields from invoices, claims, and contracts, then route results into downstream review or automation workflows.

Top Features:

• Four parsing modes: pick text, structure, understand, or agentic depending on document complexity.
• Schema extraction: define the fields you need and get values with confidence scores.
• Form handling: detect form fields without templates and fill them back in automatically.

Use Cases:

• Invoice processing: pull vendor names, totals, and line items from invoices into JSON.
• RAG ingestion: convert long PDFs into clean Markdown chunks for search and retrieval.
• Claims intake: flag mismatched insurance or mortgage form values for human review.

Who Can Use Nutrient Data Extraction API?

• Developers: add document parsing to apps with a simple REST call.
• AI teams: feed structured document data into agents, search indexes, and RAG pipelines.
• Operations teams: automate paperwork in finance, insurance, healthcare, and legal work.
