Quickstart

Create a free account

Go to receiptconverter.com/login and sign up for a free account. No credit card required. Free accounts include 10 conversions/month.

Generate an API key

Go to your dashboard, scroll to the API Keys section, and click + Generate key. Give it a name and click Create.

The full key is shown only once — copy it and store it securely. It starts with sk_live_.

Make your first request

Replace sk_live_your_key_here and receipt.jpg with your own values:

curl -X POST https://receiptconverter.com/api/v1/convert \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here" \
  -F "file=@receipt.jpg"

No receipt handy? Use a URL instead:

curl -X POST https://receiptconverter.com/api/v1/convert \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/Camponotus_flavomarginatus_ant.jpg/400px-Camponotus_flavomarginatus_ant.jpg"}'
