Verification of extracted data

Verification entails checking that the data has been recognized correctly and that the rules have returned no errors. Verification is done by human operators. ABBYY FlexiCapture for Invoices Cloud provides unique URLs that direct verification operators to the verification UI for data validation. The verification UI offers the same functionality as the ABBYY FlexiCapture Web Verification Station. To open the verification UI for a task:

Get the authorization header

Get the authorization header.

Upload a file

Upload a file to the server. For the full upload flow, see Extraction of main invoice fields.

Start a processing task

Start a document processing task to begin data extraction using the Task.Run method. Specify the verification_type parameter as Troubleshooting or UserVerification.

curl -X POST \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "Accept: application/json" \
  --header "Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l" \
  -d '{
    "properties": {

      "export_format": "Xls",
      "verification_type": "UserVerification"
    },
    "files": [

      }
    ]
  }' \

Create a verification URL

Create a verification URL in the following format:

https://{cloud-host}/verification/{verification_id}

Here, {cloud-host} is your region host and {verification_id} is the verification identifier from the Task.Get response. For example:

https://cloud-eu.flexicapture.com/verification/c6115b219dc609091e10e7679f064ef7

Open the verification URL

Open the verification URL in a browser.

Download the results

Track the task status. After the task status has changed to Done, you can download the output files and delete the task. For details, see Extraction of main invoice fields.
