Mindee Document Processing API

Mindee is a Paris-based company that offers an AI document processing API for developers and product teams. It addresses the cost of building and maintaining in-house OCR and extraction for invoices, receipts, payslips, IDs, bills of lading and other business documents inside software products and finance operations.

The API turns PDFs, images and scans into structured JSON without model training. It offers prebuilt models, custom extraction schemas, a classifier, a splitter for files up to 200 pages, and an edge detector, and returns a confidence score and bounding box for every value with deterministic output. SDKs cover Python, Node.js, Java, .NET, PHP and Ruby, and no-code connectors include Zapier, Make and n8n. The company reports more than 15 million documents processed monthly, and customers include expense, payroll and HR software vendors.

• Prebuilt models: invoices, receipts, payslips, IDs, bills of lading, energy bills and more.
• Custom extraction: define schemas, with intent prediction to speed up model creation.
• Classifier and splitter: route document types and split files up to 200 pages.
• Confidence scores and bounding boxes: locate and qualify every extracted value.
• SDKs and no-code connectors: six language SDKs plus Zapier, Make and n8n.
• Live Test advanced mode: try the full API on single documents before integration.

Vietnamese expense and accounting software providers can embed receipt and invoice extraction through the API. HR and payroll platforms can read payslips and ID documents during onboarding. Logistics software vendors can capture bill of lading data automatically for freight customers.

Teams can add document extraction to their products without training models or running OCR infrastructure. Every field comes with a confidence score and bounding box, making review and audit easier. Data can be hosted in the EU or the US with configurable retention, and a 14-day free trial needs no credit card. Users rate it 4.8 out of 5 on G2 and 4.9 on Capterra.

Software vendors increasingly embed document extraction as an API rather than building OCR in house, and compare dedicated document APIs with general LLMs on cost and consistency. Vietnamese and Southeast Asian SaaS companies in expense management, payroll and accounting face the same build-or-buy decision.

Mindee is based in Paris and reports more than 15 million documents processed monthly. It holds SOC 2 Type II, complies with GDPR and CCPA, and is HIPAA-eligible with Business Associate Agreements on request. Named customers include Spendesk, PayFit, Lucca, Circula and Indy, and it was named a G2 High Performer for IDP and OCR in Fall 2026.
