n8n-nodes-billflux-invoice-receipt-ocr

This is an n8n community node for the Billflux Invoice Receipt OCR API. It extracts clean, structured data from invoices and receipts by leveraging both traditional OCR models and LLM-driven semantic understanding, allowing each technique to contribute its strengths. The result is fast, reliable parsing that works well for automated accounting, bookkeeping, and document-processing workflows.
