Document Intelligence & OCR API Platform
Fast. Accurate. Secure. Veryfi extracts structured data from any document at enterprise scale. |
Veryfi API Portal Overview
The Veryfi API Portal is your central command center for document processing. It visualizes extraction results, tracks API usage, manages team members and permissions, and lets you configure automation and custom fields.
Inbox
The Inbox is your real-time feed of all documents submitted for processing. Review results, confirm extraction accuracy, and take action on flagged documents.
Team & Permissions
Manage collaborators and control access levels:
My Team Workspace - invite members, assign roles, and organize workspaces.
Admin Permissions - control who can view, submit, or manage API keys.
API Keys & Security
Credentials are available in the Keys section of Settings:
API Keys & Access Permissions - CLIENT_ID, Username, and API Key.
Key Rotation - rotate keys before going live and on a regular schedule.
Tip: Only Admin users can view or share API Keys. Non-admin team members do not have key access. Learn more |
Usage Analytics & Billing
Usage Analytics - track monthly document volume and API call counts.
Export - bulk-export extracted data in multiple formats.
Billing & Invoicing - upgrade plans, view invoices, and manage subscriptions.
Data Extraction API
The Veryfi Data Extraction API transforms unstructured documents into clean, structured JSON. Full reference documentation lives at docs.veryfi.com.
Authentication
Every request requires three credentials from your Keys page:
CLIENT_ID | Identifies your account (passed as CLIENT-ID header). |
Username | Your Veryfi username (used in Authorization header). |
API_KEY | Secret key paired with username: apikey USERNAME:API_KEY |
CLIENT_SECRET | Used for HMAC-SHA256 request signing. Signatures valid 30 minutes. |
Example
curl -L -X POST 'https://api.veryfi.com/api/v8/partner/documents' \-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \-H 'Accept: application/json' \-H 'CLIENT-ID: vrf0e1XaZU********WO6zr0VYv9' \-H 'AUTHORIZATION: apikey veryfi_demo:438c3332******212441fb0e' \
