‍

Financial Document APIs offer several key features, including document recognition, text extraction, structured data representation, and accuracy enhancements. They can also potentially integrate with AI technologies. Developers frequently use these APIs in applications that require automated data extraction from financial documents, such as accounting software or expense management systems.

Developers may opt for a unified Financial Documents API encompassing both [receipt](https://www.edenai.co/post/new-financial-documents-available-on-eden-ai#?referral=new-feature-financial-documents) and [invoice](https://www.edenai.co/feature/ocr-invoice-parsing-apis?referral=new-feature-financial-documents) processing to simplify integration, reduce costs, and provide a cohesive solution for comprehensive financial data management. This approach offers advantages in terms of consistency, maintenance ease, and enhanced user experience compared to using separate Receipt and Invoice APIs.

## Benfits of using Financial Documents APIs



Developers may choose to use a unified Financial Documents API that encompasses both receipt and invoice processing rather than separate Receipt and Invoice APIs for several reasons:


**1. Simplified Integration:**

Using a single API for financial documents streamlines the integration process. Developers can work with a unified set of endpoints and methods, simplifying the overall development effort compared to dealing with multiple APIs.

‍

**2. Cost Efficiency:**

A combined API might offer cost advantages compared to using separate APIs, as developers can leverage a single solution for processing different types of financial documents.

‍‍

**3. Reduced Latency:**

Integrating a single API might reduce latency as developers don't need to make separate calls to different APIs for receipt and invoice processing. This can result in faster and more responsive applications.

‍

**4. Ease of Maintenance:**

Managing a single API is generally easier than maintaining multiple APIs. Updates, bug fixes, and improvements can be applied uniformly, reducing the complexity of maintenance tasks.

‍

**5. Holistic Analytics and Reporting:**

A unified API makes it easier to perform comprehensive analytics and reporting on financial data since both receipts and invoices are accessible through the same interface. This can provide valuable insights for businesses.

‍

**6. Flexibility in Document Handling:**

Developers may have flexibility in handling various financial documents, allowing for customization based on specific use cases without the need to switch between different APIs.
