## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you scan this invoice image and pull out the vendor name, invoice number, date, line items, and total amount due so I can log it in our accounting system?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract structured fields from invoice images or PDFs without manual data entry. Ideal for accounts payable automation, expense digitization, or audit workflows where invoices arrive as scanned images or photos. Prefer this over general OCR tools when you specifically need invoice-schema-aware extraction (vendor, line items, totals, dates). Pay-per-call pricing via USDC on Base makes it suitable for sporadic or variable invoice volumes without subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Unreadable or low-resolution image may result in incomplete or inaccurate extraction
- Non-invoice documents may return empty or nonsensical fields
- Handwritten invoices may have lower OCR accuracy
- Missing required input parameter returns an error response
- Network timeout on large documents
- Unsupported file format or encoding may cause parsing failure
