Getting JSON is step one; getting valid JSON is step two. Most modern APIs, like Mindee allows you to define a data schema. To ensure your database doesn't crash:
- Use Pydantic (Python) or Zod (TypeScript) to validate the API output.
- If the extraction doesn't meet the schema (e.g., a missing mandatory invoice_id), flag it for human review.
