Using the Web Services API of the ABBYY FlexiCapture Application Server
The standard usage scenario includes the following processing stages:
- Connect to the Web Services API
- Scanning the documents and sending them for processing
- Verifying the scanned documents
- Rescanning the documents
- Getting the processing results
It is recommended to use Web Services API to process documents at User Type (ID=2000) stages. These stages can be created on the Workflow tab of the Project Properties dialog box in the Advanced mode. When connecting, the "External User" (ID=12) role and the "External Station" (ID=10) station type must be used.
For tasks at these stage, both pre- and post-processing are always executed, irrespective of the stage type specified when calling the CloseTask method (for other stages, post-processing is executed only if the stage of the required type is specified, e.g. "Verification Postprocessing"). During pre-processing, XML-files with description of documents of the task are created. It is necessary to upload these documents by the using a POST request, make necessary changes and save them on the server, then close the task by the CloseTask method. During post-processing, information from XML-files that describes the documents will be saved in ABBYY FlexiCapture database.
