No status page, rate limit numbers, changelog or official SDK were found, and documents are retained by default, with zero retention limited to Scale and Enterprise.\n\n**Mindee API.** Extracted data kept 12 hours by default (1 to 24 configurable), deletable on fetch, source files never stored. Every call needs a model_id created in the web platform first.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Invofox\n\n1. Ask the owner for an API key and the Document Type id or alias from app.invofox.com. No API endpoint lists Document Types\n2. Upload with POST /v1/ingest/uploads as multipart, with `info` as a JSON string. Send `\"useClassifier\": true` in place of `type` to have the type detected\n3. Expect 404 from GET /documents/{id} for the first seconds. Poll from 5 seconds with doubling, and stop at approved, pendingCorrection or discarded\n4. Handle the `file.rejected` webhook or check the import. A rejected file never produces a document, so polling the document waits indefinitely\n5. Do not retry an upload blindly. There is no idempotency key, so send your own id in `clientData` and look it up with `filter` first\n\n### Mindee API\n\n1. Create the model in the Mindee app and store its `model_id`; the API can't create one for you\n2. Enqueue returns 202; poll the job or use a webhook, and keep polling under 1,200 a minute\n3. Send `Authorization: $MINDEE_API_KEY` with no Bearer prefix\n4. Turn on confidence scores only when needed, since they cost 1.5 credits a page instead of 1\n5. Keep schemas to 25 fields or fewer, the documented recommendation\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Invofox or Mindee API?\n\nMindee API scores 61.3 (C) on agent readiness against Invofox's 46.8 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Invofox leads on security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Invofox and Mindee API need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Invofox and Mindee API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Invofox has a hosted endpoint at https://api.invofox.com and Mindee API at https://api-v2.mindee.net/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/invofox-vs-mindee.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/invofox-vs-mindee.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"invofox\", \"b\": \"mindee\"}`.
