    # Introduction

    Affinda uses the latest advancements in AI technology to rapidly process
    documents with better-than-human accuracy.

    This guide covers how to:

    * Extract structured data from a range of document types

    * Integrate our solutions into your platform

    * Manage users


    *Note: This API spec is for v3 of the API, the deprecated v2 documentation
    [can be found here](https://api.affinda.com/docs/v2)*


    > **Important: Use the correct API URL for your region.** Affinda is hosted
    across multiple instances. Make sure you are sending requests to the correct
    URL for your account:

    > | Instance | API Base URL |

    > |----------|-------------|

    > | **AUS / Global** | `https://api.affinda.com` |

    > | **US** | `https://api.us1.affinda.com` |

    > | **EU** | `https://api.eu1.affinda.com` |

    >

    > You can determine your instance from the URL you use to access the Affinda
    web app (e.g. `app.us1.affinda.com` means you are on the US instance). When
    using the "Try it" feature, select the matching region from the server
    dropdown.

    # Getting Started

    * Obtain an API key by [signing up for a
    free-trial](https://app.affinda.com/auth/register)

    * (Recommended) Download and install one of our client libraries: *
    [Python](https://github.com/affinda/affinda-python) : `pip install affinda`
    * [Javascript](https://github.com/affinda/affinda-typescript) : `npm install
    @affinda/affinda` * [.NET](https://github.com/affinda/affinda-dotnet):

  - name: Documents
    description: >
      Operations to upload documents for parsing.


      A document can be uploaded using `file` or `url`, one of these parameters
      must be provided.


      A document can be uploaded to a `workspace` or a `collection`, one of
      these parameters must also be provided.


      When uploaded to a workspace, the document's specific type will be
      predicted and auto classified into one of the collections before being
      parsed.


      When uploaded to a collection, the document will be parsed using that
      collection's extractor.
  - name: Organizations
    description: |
      Operations to manage organizations and organization memberships.

      Organizations are the top-level entity for managing users and workspaces.
  - name: Workspaces
    description: |
      Operations to manage workspaces.

      Workspaces group together related collections of documents.
  - name: Document Types
    description: >
      Operations to manage document types.


      Document types represent specific categories of documents with common
      extraction patterns, such as invoices or resumes.
  - name: Data Sources
    description: >
      Operations to manage custom mapping data sources. These are used to map
      from raw data extracted by

      Affinda AI models onto your own data model.
  - name: Validation Results
    description: >
      Operations to manage validation results.


      Validation results track the status and outcomes of document validation
      processes.
  - name: Usage
    description: >
      Operations to retrieve credits consumption.


      Returns daily credits usage for an organization, optionally narrowed to a
      single

      workspace or document type.
  - name: Tags
    description: >
      Operations to manage tags.


      Tags can be arbitrarily attached to documents to help organize and manage
      them.
  - name: Annotations
    description: >
      Operations to manually create, update, delete annotations.


      Together with the data point endpoints, these helps to annotate your
      documents with arbitrary data,

      or to edit annotations that were created by the Affinda parser.
  - name: Webhooks
    description: >
      Manage webhook integrations with your apps.


      Affinda have implemented webhooks to allow the data extracted by Affinda
      to be 'pushed' to you when an event occurs

      (e.g. document parsed or document validated), instead of you having to
      constantly poll our API to 'pull' the data to your system.
  - name: Search & Match
    description: >
      Operations to search through an index of documents and manage indexes via
      the Affinda Resume Parser API or a client library.


      Resumes and job descriptions must be explicitly added to an index, which
      then makes them searchable.
  - name: Deprecated End Points
    description: >
      Deprecated endpoints that are maintained for backward compatibility.


      These endpoints include Data Point, Collection, and Users functionality
      that has been superseded by newer APIs.
  - name: Add x-hidden to endpoints
    description: >
      Hidden endpoints not intended for public use.


      These endpoints include Splitting, Extractor, Organization, and Workspace
      Memberships & Usage functionality.
