Document Classification API

Transform your document chaos into organized data. Simply upload mixed documents and our AI instantly sorts them—receipts, invoices, bank statements, W9s, or any custom category you define. Once classified, we automatically extract structured data from each document, all accessible through Veryfi's powerful API and Veryfi's Workflows.

How It Works

Upload a mix of documents to our API and let our AI, Vee, take over. Vee instantly classifies each document by type—invoice, receipt, bank statement, and more—and intelligently routes it to the appropriate extraction engine for high-accuracy data capture. Use it as a standalone classification API to detect document types, as a smart router that directs files to the right endpoint, or embed it into Veryfi Workflows as a classifier node to automatically sort documents into folders or trigger specialized extraction models. It’s document triage, powered by AI.

POST /api/v8/partner/classify · Live

Mixed files in.
One type out.

Veryfi’s Document Classification API reads a mixed upload and returns document_type.value with document_type.score from POST /api/v8/partner/classify. The pass shown here first checks that the file is a document, then locks a type — receipt, invoice, bank statement, W-9, and more — so the file can go to the matching extraction API. See the supported document types on this page.

Sample response { "document_type": { "score": 0.99, "value": "invoice" } }
