Quick-Start

#
# Install the Python client library by running:
# pip install mindee
#

from mindee import Client, product, AsyncPredictResponse

# Init a new client
mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key")

# Load a file from disk
input_doc = mindee_client.source_from_path("/path/to/the/file.ext")

# Load a file from disk and enqueue it.
result: AsyncPredictResponse = mindee_client.enqueue_and_parse(
    product.us.UsMailV3,
    input_doc,
)

# Print a brief summary of the parsed data
print(result.document)

Field Types

Standard Fields

These fields are generic and used in several products.

BaseField

Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic BaseField class.
A typical BaseField object will have the following attributes:

value (Union[float, str]): corresponds to the field value. Can be None if no value was extracted.
confidence (float): the confidence score of the field prediction.
bounding_box ([Point, Point, Point, Point]): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.
polygon (List[Point]): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point) of a polygon containing the field in the image.
page_id (int): the ID of the page, always None when at document-level.
reconstructed (bool): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).

Note: A Point simply refers to a List of two numbers ([float, float]).

Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a custom __str__ method that can be used to print their value as a string.

StringField

The text field StringField only has one constraint: its value is an Optional[str].

Specific Fields

Fields which are specific to this product; they are not used in any other product.

The addresses of the recipients.

A UsMailV3RecipientAddress implements the following attributes:

city (str): The city of the recipient's address.
complete (str): The complete address of the recipient.
is_address_change (bool): Indicates if the recipient's address is a change of address.
postal_code (str): The postal code of the recipient's address.
private_mailbox_number (str): The private mailbox number of the recipient's address.

Sender Address Field

The address of the sender.

A UsMailV3SenderAddress implements the following attributes:

city (str): The city of the sender's address.
complete (str): The complete address of the sender.
postal_code (str): The postal code of the sender's address.
state (str): Second part of the ISO 3166-2 code, consisting of two letters indicating the US State.

Attributes

The following fields are extracted for US Mail V3:

Return to Sender

is_return_to_sender (BooleanField): Whether the mailing is marked as return to sender.

print(result.document.inference.prediction.is_return_to_sender.value)

Recipient Addresses

recipient_addresses (List[UsMailV3RecipientAddress]): The addresses of the recipients.

for recipient_addresses_elem in result.document.inference.prediction.recipient_addresses:
    print(recipient_addresses_elem.value)

Recipient Names

recipient_names (List[StringField]): The names of the recipients.

for recipient_names_elem in result.document.inference.prediction.recipient_names:
    print(recipient_names_elem.value)

Sender Address

sender_address (UsMailV3SenderAddress): The address of the sender.

print(result.document.inference.prediction.sender_address.value)

Sender Name

sender_name (StringField): The name of the sender.

print(result.document.inference.prediction.sender_name.value)
