Welcome to CLA AutoExtract | CLA AutoExtract

AutoExtract (Fluxx) is CLA’s event-driven platform for ingesting documents, classifying and splitting them, extracting structured data, and delivering results back to client applications.

Platform

Components, architecture, messaging topology and the individual microservices.

Guides

Client integration, upload API, error handling and the Documents AI user guide.

API Reference

Five services, one unified reference: File Intake, Registration, Extractor, Status Check and Document Splitter.

Design & Research

HLDs, LLDs, spikes and architecture decisions behind the platform.

The services at a glance

Service	Role
File Intake	Entry point for every file. Stores uploads, triggers malware scanning, and emits `accepted-file` events.
Registration	Reference data per client application: allowed extensions, size limits, delivery routes, extractors and classifiers.
Document Splitter / Classifier	Determine document type and split compound files into individual documents.
Extractor	Runs OCR / entity extraction jobs for a file and tracks job history.
Status Check	Audit trail and processing status for every file.
Postal	Routes events to each client application’s registered delivery endpoint.

One API, one SDK

Although the platform is five independently deployed microservices, the OpenAPI definitions are merged into a single API definition so that a single SDK is generated. Each service becomes a namespaced sub-client. See the SDK quickstart.

All services authenticate with a JWT bearer token. Role and scope requirements per endpoint are described under Guides.
