Python API Client Library

The veryfi library can be used to communicate with Veryfi API. All available functionality is described here https://veryfi.github.io/veryfi-python/reference/veryfi/#client

Below is the sample script using veryfi to OCR and extract data from a document:

from veryfi import Client

client_id = 'your_client_id'
client_secret = 'your_client_secret'
username = 'your_username'
api_key = 'your_password'

categories = ['Grocery', 'Utilities', 'Travel']
file_path = '/tmp/invoice.jpg'

# This submits document for processing (takes 3-5 seconds to get response)
veryfi_client = Client(client_id, client_secret, username, api_key)
response = veryfi_client.process_document(file_path, categories=categories)
response

# or with url
response = veryfi_client.process_document_url(url, external_id=some_id)
response
