Node.js API Client Library

The veryfi library can be used to communicate with Veryfi API. All available functionality is described here: https://veryfi.github.io/veryfi-nodejs/

Below is a sample script using Veryfi for OCR and extracting data from a document:

Extracting Data

const Client = require('@veryfi/veryfi-sdk');
const client_id = 'your_client_id';
const client_secret = 'your_client_secret';
const username = 'your_username';
const api_key = 'your_password';

const categories = ['Grocery', 'Utilities', 'Travel'];
const file_path = './test/receipt.png';

This submits a document for processing (3-5 seconds for a response)

let veryfi_client = new Client(client_id, client_secret, username, api_key);
let response = veryfi_client.process_document(file_path, categories=categories).then(response => {
  console.log(response)
});

...or with a URL

let response = veryfi_client.process_document_url(url, external_id=some_id).then(response => {
  console.log(response)
});
