Verdicts
Nanonets API + MCP
Extraction API returns Markdown, CSV or JSON, with named fields or a JSON schema. No public changelog and no dated release in the last 90 days.
Veryfi API + MCP
Typed fields and line items for receipts, invoices, cheques, bank statements and tax forms. API outage on 29 September and degraded, incomplete extraction on 1 October.
Before you call either
Nanonets API + MCP
- Use the extraction API at
extraction-api.nanonets.com, notapp.nanonets.com, unless you already have a trained model - Pass a JSON schema in
json_optionswhen downstream code needs fixed field names - Use the async extract endpoints for long documents and poll
/api/v1/extract/results/{record_id} - On a 429, wait 30 seconds and double the delay each retry
- Budget per page, since a 10-page PDF through an extraction block is 10 runs
Veryfi API + MCP
- Always send an
Idempotency-Keyheader so a retry after a 504 doesn't bill twice - Wait for the seconds in
Retry-Afteron a 429; identical failing requests are capped at 10 a minute - Set the
CLIENT-IDheader on every call - Use the dedicated endpoints for bank statements, cheques and tax forms, since the documents endpoint handles receipts, invoices and purchase orders
- Set
max_pages_to_processfor long PDFs, since one transaction covers 15 pages
