Excel add-in

Updated

Overview#

The DocXtract Excel add-in extracts structured data from documents without writing code. It calls the same v3.1 API as every other integration, so accuracy, credit cost, and document limits are identical.

Before you start#

  • An API key from the client portal → Settings
  • The document types your key permits — check on the Test API page
  • Documents as PDF, JPG, or PNG, up to 10 MB
Tip
Give this connector its own API key. Usage stays attributable per tool, and you can revoke it without disrupting your other integrations.

Setup#

Installation and configuration steps are maintained alongside the connector itself, in client/connectors/ in the platform repository, since they change with each platform's own release cycle.

Setup walkthrough with screenshots for the Excel add-in

Ask support@docxtract.io for the current installation package and setup guide.

What to expect#

  • Credits are per page. A 10-page document costs 10 credits.
  • Rate limits are per key — 10 requests per minute by default. Bulk runs share that budget with anything else using the same key.
  • PDFs over 3 pages are split and processed in parts, so they take noticeably longer than single-page documents. This is normal.

Troubleshooting#

SymptomCause
Authentication failsKey is revoked, expired, or the value pasted is not a DocXtract sk_ key
"No document types available"The key has no types assigned — check the portal
Extraction returns unexpected fieldsWrong document type selected; it defaults to invoice
Requests start failing during a bulk runRate limit — 10 requests/minute per key
Stops working suddenly, mid-monthCredit cap reached; see quotas
