Spike API

Behind the scenes @spike/pdf-cli uses @spike/api-statements in order to extract transactions. This involves sending your pdfs to our servers where the parsing and extracting takes place. @spike/pdf-cli simply contains functionality to find pdfs on your local filesystem, send them to the Spike servers, and process the json responses.

More info on the @spike/api-statements can be found here:

• @spike/api-statements
• api docs
