Summary

Extract structured data from a check image, including payer, payee, and amount details.

Inputs

  • fileSource — Where the document comes from. 'binary' requires a binary field from a previous node; 'url' accepts a public HTTP(S) link.
  • binaryPropertyName (required) — The name of the input binary field containing the check file (PDF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF). Required when fileSource is 'binary'.
  • fileUrl (required) — Public URL of the check. Required when fileSource is 'url'. Veryfi fetches the document server-side.
  • fileName — Optional file name to send to Veryfi. If empty, the name is taken from the binary input (or omitted for URL input).
  • confidenceDetails — Whether to include per-field confidence scores (value, score, ocr_score).
  • flattenConfidence — Whether to flatten confidence objects into sibling keys (e.g., field__score). Defaults to true.
  • additionalOptions.auto_categorize — Whether to let Veryfi auto-categorize the document.
  • additionalOptions.boost_mode — Enable boost mode to return extracted data without storing the document image.
  • additionalOptions.categories — Optional list of categories to constrain the auto-categorizer.
  • additionalOptions.external_id — Optional external identifier to associate with the document.
  • additionalOptions.tags — Optional tags to attach to the document.

Output shape

A single record with extracted check data (e.g., payer, payee, amount).

If confidenceDetails is enabled, fields are returned as objects containing value, score, and ocr_score; use flattenConfidence to flatten them into sibling keys.

Examples

Example 1: Extract data from a binary check file.

Set fileSource to 'binary', select the binary field containing the check image, and enable confidence details if needed.

Example 2: Extract data from a hosted check image.

Set fileSource to 'url', provide the check's public URL, and optionally set a fileName.
