Document Intelligence · Legal
Convert contracts, affidavits and agreements into searchable, structured text with an API built for the volume and variability of legal paperwork.
Overview
What the Legal Document OCR API does
FinHub's Legal Document OCR API combines OCR with NLP to extract full text and key information — parties, dates, clauses and defined terms — from legal documents such as contracts, affidavits and agreements. Large or multi-part documents can be processed asynchronously with a callback, and every extraction is logged with consent capture for audit-readiness.
Inputs
- Legal document (PDF or image, multi-page supported)
- Callback URL
- Consent artifact ID
Returns
- Full extracted text
- Parties & signatories
- Key dates & clause references
- Document type classification
- Processing status (sync/async)
POST /v1/ocr/legal-document
How it works
Three steps to a verified result
Submit the document
Send the legal document — single or multi-page — with an optional callback URL for asynchronous processing.
We extract text and structure
OCR and NLP models extract full text plus parties, dates and clause references, classifying the document type along the way.
Get text or a callback
Receive structured output synchronously, or a callback notification with the result once large documents finish processing — sealed to your audit trail.
