VariableRequiredDescription
MINDEE_API_KEYYesMindee API key from the Mindee platform (sent as ‘Authorization: Token <key>’) Docs.

Setup

  1. Create a free Mindee account: Sign up at https://platform.mindee.com - no payment details required. The free plan includes a monthly page allowance, so you can start parsing documents immediately.
  2. Get your API key: A development API key is generated for you as soon as your account exists. Find it in the Mindee platform under API Keys, and store it as MINDEE_API_KEY. It is sent on every request as ‘Authorization: Token <key>’.
  3. Test with a sample document: Run the Parse Invoice tool with a publicly accessible URL of a sample invoice PDF, or the file’s base64-encoded contents, and check that structured fields come back.
  • The ‘document’ field accepts either a base64-encoded file or a publicly accessible HTTPS URL; URL inputs must be reachable without authentication
  • These tools call Mindee’s V1 product APIs (api.mindee.net): Invoice v4, Receipt v5, and Financial Document v1; Mindee’s newer model-based V2 platform (api-v2.mindee.net) uses per-account model IDs and is not covered here
  • Each predict call consumes pages from your plan’s quota (multi-page PDFs consume one page per parsed page)
Provider API reference: https://docs.mindee.com
