# HALOWERK Invoice Extract

> HALOWERK Invoice Extract is a paid API for AI agents from handel.halowerk.com, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Parses a hybrid electronic invoice (ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, XRechnung, or Peppol BIS) from a base64-encoded PDF or XML and returns structured invoice data including header, line items, tax breakdown, and totals.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability halowerk-invoice-extract-f1723ddc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have a ZUGFeRD invoice PDF encoded in base64 — can you extract all the structured data from it, including the line items and tax breakdown, and flag any discrepancies between the stated totals and the computed ones?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract structured data from European electronic invoices in hybrid PDF (ZUGFeRD, Factur-X) or standalone XML (XRechnung, Peppol BIS, EN 16931 CII/UBL) formats. It is especially valuable for accounts payable automation, ERP ingestion pipelines, or compliance workflows where you need both extracted data and automatic total verification in a single call. Prefer it over generic PDF extraction tools because it understands the specific e-invoice XML standards and can surface embedded machine-readable data even from hybrid PDFs.

## Known failure modes

- Document too large: base64 string exceeds 250,000 characters — returns an error
- No embedded XML found: PDF does not contain a ZUGFeRD or Factur-X attachment — returns parsing error
- Malformed XML: embedded or standalone XML does not conform to EN 16931 CII or UBL syntax
- Unsupported format: non-invoice PDF or unrecognized XML structure — returns format error
- Base64 decoding failure: invalid base64 string — returns decoding error
- Total verification mismatch: returns computed vs stated totals with deviation details rather than failing

## How this service works

Reads a hybrid invoice and returns it as data. Accepts a PDF with an embedded ZUGFeRD or Factur-X XML, or the EN 16931 XML on its own, in either syntax the standard allows: CII, which ZUGFeRD and Factur-X use, and UBL, which XRechnung and Peppol BIS use.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing the parsed invoice data: header fields (buyer, seller, invoice number, dates, currency), line items (if requested), tax breakdown by rate, stated and computed totals, and a list of any deviations found between stated and recomputed figures.
