How the Ingestion API Works
Push documents from your code, let DocuClipper handle classification, extraction, and delivery.
Programmatic upload
Send documents to DocuClipper directly from your application with a single API call. Ingest one file or thousands, no manual upload, no dashboard required.
Automatic extraction
Every document pushed through the API is classified and extracted automatically. Bank statements, invoices, receipts, checks, and tax forms come back as structured JSON.
Webhook results
Process asynchronously and receive a webhook the moment each document is ready. No polling, results are pushed straight into your pipeline as they complete.
Token authentication
Authenticate with scoped API tokens over encrypted connections. Rotate or revoke tokens at any time, with full control over what each integration can access.
Get Started in 3 Steps
1
Create an API token
Generate a scoped API token from your DocuClipper account. Use it to authenticate every request over HTTPS, and rotate or revoke it whenever you need.
2
POST documents to the API
Send a document to the upload endpoint from your app or backend service. DocuClipper returns an identifier immediately and queues the file for extraction.
3
Receive structured results
Get results back as JSON via webhook the moment processing completes, or fetch them by document ID. Route the data straight into your system of record.
Common Workflows Using the DocuClipper API
Fintech & lending platforms
Embed document extraction in your own product. When a user uploads a bank statement, push it to DocuClipper and get structured transactions and fraud signals back in your app.
- 1Your app uploads a document to the DocuClipper API
- 2DocuClipper extracts transactions and runs fraud checks asynchronously
- 3A webhook delivers structured results back into your platform
High-volume automation
Batch thousands of documents through the API on a schedule. Ingest from your own storage, queue them for extraction, and collect structured output without any manual steps.
- 1Your job pushes a batch of PDFs to the API
- 2DocuClipper processes them in parallel
- 3Results are returned via webhook or fetched by document ID
Custom internal tools
Wire DocuClipper into internal finance tooling. Send documents from a script or backend service and route the extracted data straight into your database or accounting system.
- 1A backend service submits a document to the API
- 2DocuClipper returns structured JSON for the detected document type
- 3Your service maps the fields into your system of record

Authenticate with an API token and POST your document to the file upload endpoint. DocuClipper queues it, classifies the document type, extracts the data, and makes the structured output available to fetch by document ID or to receive via webhook. See the API documentation for endpoints and examples.
The API accepts bank statements, invoices, receipts, checks, and IRS tax forms (W-2, 1099, 1040), as both digital and scanned PDFs. Document type is detected automatically, so a single endpoint handles all of them.
Processing is asynchronous. You submit a document and receive an identifier immediately, then either poll for the result or configure a webhook to be notified the moment extraction completes. This keeps your integration responsive even for large batches.
Structured results are returned as JSON. You can fetch them by document ID once processing completes, or register a webhook so DocuClipper pushes the result to your endpoint automatically. The same data is also available for export to Excel, CSV, QuickBooks, or Xero.
Requests are authenticated with scoped API tokens over HTTPS. Tokens can be rotated or revoked at any time, and each token's access can be limited so an integration only sees what it needs.
The complete API documentation covers authentication, file uploads, async processing, webhooks, and rate limits, with request and response examples for each document type. It's the reference companion to this ingestion overview.
