The Elis Extraction API (https://rossum.ai/developers) provides a universal invoice extraction service based on Artificial Intelligence. Unlike traditional OCR tools, the robot requires no specific rule or template setup — it is ready to extract data from a wide variety of invoices right away. Thanks to deep learning technology it infers the underlying general structure of invoices.

Here we use the Python client to extract a real-world invoice. It’s possible to sign-up for free using email or Google/GitHub account. The processing time may vary depending on the service utilization but usually it’s within a minute.
