ZUGFeRD Parser API

Extract invoice data from ZUGFeRD and Factur-X hybrid PDFs directly from the embedded XML — no OCR, no LLM, deterministic output every time.

How it works

1.Send a ZUGFeRD or Factur-X hybrid PDF to the API
2.Parsurai detects and extracts the embedded ZUGFeRD-invoice.xml or factur-x.xml
3.XML is parsed against the EN 16931 schema — no LLM call, zero hallucination risk
4.Structured JSON returned in under 200ms

ZUGFeRD vs Factur-X

ZUGFeRD is the German implementation of the EN 16931 hybrid invoice standard. Factur-X is the French/EU-wide name for the same standard. Parsurai parses both formats via the same endpoint.
