POST/api/v1/document/analysis/utility_bill

Extract the name, address, provider, and issue date from a utility bill — a common proof-of-address document — and check whether the bill is recent.

Headers

Header	Required	Description
`Authorization`	Yes	Your app’s secret key, sent as-is — not `Bearer`.
`AppId`	Yes	The App ID from your dashboard.
`Content-Type`	Yes	`application/json`

Body parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`input_type`	string	Yes	`url`. Defaults to `url`.
`input_value`	string	Yes	Image URL of the utility bill.

Response

A 200 returns the parsed bill under entity — identity_info (name and meter number), address_info, the provider_name, the bill_issue_date, and a metadata.is_recent flag you can use to enforce a recency policy on proof of address.

Errors

Code	Meaning
`400`	Bad request — a required field is missing or the image can’t be read.
`401`	Unauthorized — check your key and `AppId` (no `Bearer` prefix).
`402`	Insufficient wallet balance. Fund your wallet.
`424`	Failed dependency — the analysis engine couldn’t process the document.
`429`	Too many requests — back off and retry.
