Dashboard vs API
DocPeel offers two ways to extract documents: the no-code dashboard and the REST API. Most production teams use both — the API for ingestion, the dashboard for review and corrections.
When to use the dashboard
- You don't have engineering bandwidth.
- Volume is < 500 documents per month.
- Your team prefers drag-and-drop uploads.
- You want non-technical reviewers to correct results inline.
When to use the API
- You're ingesting documents from an existing system (email, S3, Drive).
- You need extracted data flowing directly into an ERP, CRM, or warehouse.
- Volume exceeds a few hundred documents per month.
- You need programmatic access to confidence scores or original files.
Hybrid pattern (recommended)
- API ingests documents from your source system.
- High-confidence extractions auto-route to your warehouse.
- Low-confidence extractions surface in the dashboard for human review.
- Corrections flow back via
extraction.correctedwebhooks.
