What Taggun is
Taggun is a receipt and invoice OCR API that converts submitted documents into structured data for automation. It extracts totals, tax, merchant details, dates, and line items, supporting expense management, accounting automation, and receipt-based loyalty or rewards promotions. The service supports OCR in 205 languages and accepts JPEG, PDF, PNG, GIF, and HEIF uploads up to 20 MB. Developers can use a documented REST API or verified Make.com app, with SDK languages including Python, JavaScript, PHP, C#, Java, Android, iOS, and cURL. Taggun reports 90%+ accuracy while noting variation by document, country, merchant, and image quality. Submitted files and extracted results are stored for up to three years by default; incognito mode prevents storage. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
