Developer reference

Document AI REST API.

The Cogneris document processing API turns unstructured documents into structured JSON in seconds. Authenticate with a bearer token, POST a document, get extraction results with field-level confidence and an immutable audit trail. The full interactive reference is rendered below from our published OpenAPI 3.1 spec.

Document extraction API

Extract typed fields, tables, line items, and decisions from PDFs, scans, and images.

Document parsing API

Use a PDF parser API to return layout-aware JSON, Markdown, chunks, and citations for workflows, agents, and databases.

OCR API

Recognize text and layout, then turn OCR output into validated document data.

Private cloud roadmap

Review planned private VPC and customer-managed-key capabilities. These options are not generally available unless included in a signed deployment scope.

API capacity contract

Public synchronous extraction endpoints accept files up to 10 MB. Document classes and output fields come from the tenant's configured templates, while page ceilings vary by processing route. Read the source-backed coverage matrix for languages, currencies, fields, and limit boundaries.

Language & platform support

Maintained client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, .NET, and Java are built in the public repository and published to the public registries: npm and PyPI carry 0.2.0, NuGet.org and Maven Central carry 0.1.0. Registry availability was verified on 2026-10-30. The repository README carries the install commands and runnable samples. No Go or mobile client is published; the REST API works without any of them.
