You can instantiate the client either manually or by using dependency injection.
Dependency Injection
In your Startup.cs or Program.cs file, configure the dependency injection (DI) as follows:
services.AddMindeeClient();
This call will configure the client entry point and the PDF library used internally.
Then, in your controller or service instance, pass as an argument the class MindeeClient.
Manually
Or, you could also simply instantiate a new instance of MindeeClient:
using Mindee;
MindeeClient mindeeClient = new MindeeClient("my-api-key");
Loading a File and Parsing It
Global Documents
using Mindee;
using Mindee.Input;
using Mindee.Product.Invoice;
string apiKey = "my-api-key";
string filePath = "/path/to/the/file.ext";
// Construct a new client
MindeeClient mindeeClient = new MindeeClient(apiKey);
// Load an input source as a path string
// Other input types can be used, as mentioned in the docs
var inputSource = new LocalInputSource(filePath);
// Call the API and parse the input
var response = await mindeeClient
.ParseAsync<InvoiceV4>(inputSource);
// Print a summary of the predictions
System.Console.WriteLine(response.Document.ToString());
// Print the document-level predictions
// System.Console.WriteLine(response.Document.Inference.Prediction.ToString());
Region-Specific Documents
using Mindee;
using Mindee.Input;
using Mindee.Product.Us.BankCheck;
string apiKey = "my-api-key";
string filePath = "/path/to/the/file.ext";
MindeeClient mindeeClient = new MindeeClient(apiKey);
// Load an input source as a path string
// Other input types can be used, as mentioned in the docs
var inputSource = new LocalInputSource(filePath);
// Call the API and parse the input
var response = await mindeeClient
.ParseAsync<BankCheckV1>(inputSource);
// Print a summary of the predictions
System.Console.WriteLine(response.Document.ToString());
// Print the document-level predictions
// System.Console.WriteLine(response.Document.Inference.Prediction.ToString());
Custom Document (API Builder)
using Mindee;
using Mindee.Http;
using Mindee.Parsing;
string apiKey = "my-api-key";
string filePath = "/path/to/the/file.ext";
MindeeClient mindeeClient = new MindeeClient(apiKey);
// Load an input source as a path string
// Other input types can be used, as mentioned in the docs
var inputSource = new LocalInputSource(filePath);
// Set the endpoint configuration
CustomEndpoint myEndpoint = new CustomEndpoint(
endpointName: "my-endpoint",
accountName: "my-account"
// optionally, lock the version
//, version: "1.1"
);
// Call the API and parse the input
var response = await mindeeClient.ParseAsync(
inputSource, myEndpoint);
// Print a summary of all the predictions
System.Console.WriteLine(response.Document.ToString());
// Print a summary of the predictions
System.Console.WriteLine(response.Document.ToString());
// Print the document-level predictions
// System.Console.WriteLine(response.Document.Inference.Prediction.ToString());
