Product Line Item Extraction
Taggun's Product Line Item Extraction feature captures detailed information about individual products or services on a receipt or invoice.
How It Works
TAGGUN's AI-powered OCR technology identifies and extracts individual line items from receipts and invoices, providing details such as:
- Product or Service Name
- Quantity
- Unit Price
- Total Price
- Product Code
Compatible Endpoints
The productLineItems feature is available only on the verbose endpoints:
Note if you are using Receipt Validation APIs:
All endpoints in the Receipt Validation API support the productLineItems feature.
Enabling Line Item Extraction
To use line item extraction, set the extractLineItems parameter to true in your API request:
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.taggun.io/api/receipt/v1/verbose/file \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'apikey: YOUR_API_KEY' \ # UPDATE To Your API Key
--header 'content-type: multipart/form-data' \
--form 'file=@/path/to/your/receipt.jpg' \ # UPDATE To Your File Path
--form 'extractLineItems=true'
Remember to replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key and update the file path to your receipt image.
