Mindee API Helper Library for Java

Quickly and easily connect to Mindee's API services using Java.

Quick Start

Here's the TL;DR of getting started.

First, get an API Key

Include the following maven dependency in your project to use the helper library:

<dependency>
  <artifactId>mindee-api-java</artifactId>
  <groupId>com.mindee.sdk</groupId>
  <version>${mindee.sdk.version}</version>
</dependency>

Where ${mindee.sdk.version} is the version shown here:

Loading a File and Parsing It

The MindeeClient class is the entry point for most of the helper library features.

Global Documents

These classes are available in the com.mindee.parsing package:

import com.mindee.parsing;
import com.mindee.parsing.invoice;

MindeeClient mindeeClient = MindeeClientInit.create("my-api-key");

DocumentToParse documentToParse = mindeeClient.loadDocument(new File("/path/to/the/file.ext"));

Document<InvoiceV4Inference> invoiceDocument = mindeeClient.parse(
  InvoiceV4Inference.class,
  documentToParse
);

Region-Specific Documents

Each region will have its own package within the general com.mindee.parsing package.

For example USA-specific classes will be in the com.mindee.parsing.us package:

import com.mindee.parsing;
import com.mindee.parsing.us.bankcheck;

MindeeClient mindeeClient = MindeeClientInit.create("my-api-key");

DocumentToParse documentToParse = mindeeClient.loadDocument(new File("/path/to/the/file.ext"));

Document<BankCheckV1Inference> bankCheckDocument = mindeeClient.parse(
  BankCheckV1Inference.class,
  documentToParse
);

Custom Documents (API Builder)

import com.mindee.parsing;
import com.mindee.parsing.custom;

MindeeClient mindeeClient = MindeeClientInit.create("my-api-key");
CustomEndpoint customEndpoint = new CustomEndpoint("my-endpoint", "my-account");

DocumentToParse documentToParse = mindeeClient.loadDocument(
  new File("src/main/resources/invoices/invoice1.pdf")
);

Document<CustomV1Inference> customDocument = mindeeClient.parse(
  documentToParse,
  customEndpoint
);

Client supports multiple input types:

java.io.File file
InputStream fileAsStream, String filename
byte[] fileAsByteArray, String filename
String fileAsBase64String, String filename
