Learn about the new RESTful document ingestion API that provides the ability to create and populate batches, monitor batch status, and retrieve results.
Beginning in 2021, Grooper offers a RESTful Document Ingestion API. An API is a method for communicating with a piece of software using a predefined series of commands and predefined response format delivered (usually) via HTTP requests.
RESTful simply means that the API is “stateless;” that is, no call, or response relies on stored information about previous calls. The API is provided via an installable Grooper service.
