Rossum’s API is a powerful interface that allows you to programmatically access and manage your organization’s Rossum data and account information. In other words, instead of using the Rossum web app, developers can use the API to integrate Rossum with other software and automate document processing tasks.
What You Can Do with the Rossum API
With the Rossum API, you can accomplish many account management and data processing tasks through code. For example:
Manage your organization’s users, workspaces, and data queues
Configure what data is captured from documents by selecting which fields to extract
Integrate Rossum with other systems through document imports, exports, or custom extensions
These capabilities mean you can connect Rossum to your own software ecosystem (such as ERP or accounting systems) and handle document processing in a streamlined, automated way.
Where to Find the API Documentation
Rossum’s Knowledge Base homepage has a visible “API Documentation” link in its top navigation bar. Clicking this API Documentation button will take you to the full Rossum API reference on our developer documentation site (https://elis.rossum.ai/api/docs/). This separate documentation page contains all the technical details and up-to-date instructions for using Rossum’s API.
What the Documentation Includes
The API documentation provides everything you need to get started and become proficient with Rossum’s API. It offers an introduction for developers and a complete reference of all API endpoints and objects – so you can see how to interact with things like organizations, queues, documents, annotations, and more. There’s also a quick-start tutorial that walks you through authenticating, uploading a document, and exporting the captured data step by step.
Throughout the documentation, you’ll find code examples, explanations of request/response formats, and guides for common integration scenarios. In summary, the Rossum API documentation is the go-to resource for learning how to connect to Rossum programmatically and unlock all of its powerful automation features.
