Multi Receipts Detector OCR
Automatically extract the position from multiple Receipts on documents.
Mindee’s Multi Receipts Detector OCR API uses deep learning to automatically, accurately, and instantaneously parse your receipt coordinates. In under a second, the API extracts a set of data from your PDFs or photos of any document showing multiple receipts, including:
- Receipt Position by Bounding Box
It can be easily combined with Mindee's Receipts and Financial Documents OCR API to provide an end to end workflow from detecting to extracting key information on receipts.
Set up the API
Before making any API calls, you need to have created your API key.
- You'll need a document including one or multiple receipts. You can use the sample document provided below.
- Access your API by clicking on the Multi Receipts Detector card in the Utilities
- From the left navigation, go to documentation > API Reference, you'll find sample code in popular languages and command line.

- Replace my-api-key-here with your new API key, or use the "select an API key" feature and it will be filled automatically.
- Copy and paste the sample code of your desired choice in your application, code environment or terminal.
- Replace
/path/to/my/filewith the path to your document.
Always remember to replace your API key!
- Run your code. You will receive a JSON response with the receipts positions.
API Response
Here is the full JSON response you get when you call the API:
{
"api_request": {
"error": {},
"resources": [
"document"
],
"status": "success",
"status_code": 201,
"url": "https://api.mindee.net/v1/products/mindee/multi_receipts_detector/v1/predict"

You can find the prediction within the prediction key found in two locations:
- In
document > inference > predictionfor document-level predictions: it contains the different fields extracted at the document level, meaning that for multi-pages PDFs, we reconstruct a single List of Receipts object using all the pages. - In
document > inference > pages[ ] > predictionfor page-level predictions: it gives the prediction for each page independently. With images, there is only one element on this array, but with PDFs, you can find the extracted data for each PDF page.
Each predicted field may contain one or several values:
- a
confidencescore - a
bounding_boxhighlighting the information location - a
page_idwhere the information was found (document level only)
