The PHP OCR SDK supports the [Receipt API](https://platform.mindee.com/mindee/expense_receipts).
Using the [sample below](https://github.com/mindee/client-lib-test-data/blob/main/products/expense_receipts/default_sample.jpg), we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the OCR SDK.
# Quick-Start
```php
<?php
use Mindee\Client;
use Mindee\Product\Receipt\ReceiptV5;
// Init a new client
$mindeeClient = new Client("my-api-key");
// Load a file from disk
$inputSource = $mindeeClient->sourceFromPath("/path/to/the/file.ext");
// Parse the file
$apiResponse = $mindeeClient->parse(ReceiptV5::class, $inputSource);
echo $apiResponse->document;
```
You can also call this product asynchronously:
```php
<?php
use Mindee\Client;
use Mindee\Product\Receipt\ReceiptV5;
// Init a new client
$mindeeClient = new Client("my-api-key");
// Load a file from disk
$inputSource = $mindeeClient->sourceFromPath("/path/to/the/file.ext");
// Parse the file asynchronously
$apiResponse = $mindeeClient->enqueueAndParse(ReceiptV5::class, $inputSource);
echo $apiResponse->document;
```
**Output (RST):**

# Field Types
## Standard Fields
These fields are generic and used in several products.
### BaseField
Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic `BaseField` class.
A typical `BaseField` object will have the following attributes:
* **value** (`float|string`): corresponds to the field value. Can be `null` if no value was extracted.
* **confidence** (`float`): the confidence score of the field prediction.
* **boundingBox** (`[Point, Point, Point, Point]`): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.
* **polygon** (`Point[]`): contains the relative vertices coordinates (`Point`) of a polygon containing the field in the image.
* **pageId** (`integer`): the ID of the page, always `null` when at document-level.
* **reconstructed** (`bool`): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).
> **Note:** A `Point` simply refers to a list of two numbers (`[float, float]`).
Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a custom `__toString` method that can be used to print their value as a string.
### AmountField
The amount field `AmountField` only has one constraint: its **value** is an optional `?float`.
### ClassificationField
The classification field `ClassificationField` does not implement all the basic `BaseField` attributes. It only implements **value**, **confidence** and **pageId**.
> Note: a classification field's `value is always a `string`.
### CompanyRegistrationField
Aside from the basic `BaseField` attributes, the company registration field `CompanyRegistrationField` also implements the following:
* **type** (`string`): the type of company.
### DateField
Aside from the basic `BaseField` attributes, the date field `DateField` also implements the following:
* **dateObject** (`date`): an accessible representation of the value as a php object. Can be `null`.
### LocaleField
The locale field `LocaleField` only implements the **value**, **confidence** and **pageId** base `BaseField` attributes, but it comes with its own:
* **language** (`string`): ISO 639-1 language code (e.g.: `en` for English). Can be `null`.
* **country** (`string`): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for countries (e.g.: `GRB` or `GB` for "Great Britain"). Can be `null`.
* **currency** (`string`): ISO 4217 code for currencies (e.g.: `USD` for "US Dollars"). Can be `null`.
### StringField
The text field `StringField` implements the following:
* **value** (`string`): represents the value of the field as a string.
* **rawValue** (`string`): the value of the string as it appears on the document.
### TaxesField
#### Tax
Aside from the basic `BaseField` attributes, the tax field `TaxField` also implements the following:
* **rate** (`float`): the tax rate applied to an item expressed as a percentage. Can be `null`.
* **code** (`string`): tax code (or equivalent, depending on the origin of the document). Can be `null`.
* **base** (`float`): base amount used for the tax. Can be `null`.
> Note: currently `TaxField` is not used on its own, and is accessed through a parent `Taxes` object, a list-like structure.
#### Taxes (Array)
The `Taxes` field represents a list-like collection of `TaxField` objects. As it is the representation of several objects, it has access to a custom `__toString` method that can render a `TaxField` object as a table line.
## Specific Fields
Fields which are specific to this product; they are not used in any other product.
### Line Items Field
List of line item details.
A `ReceiptV5LineItem` implements the following attributes:
* **description** (`string`): The item description.
* **quantity** (`float`): The item quantity.
* **totalAmount** (`float`): The item total amount.
* **unitPrice** (`float`): The item unit price.
