            };

            // Initialize the Parser API instance
            var apiInstance = new ParserApi(configuration);

            try
            {
                // Define the document and template file
                var fileInfo = new FileInfo { Folder = "path/to/folder", Name = "invoice.pdf" };
                var templatePath = "path/to/template.json";

                // Create a template-based parsing request
                var request = new ParseRequest(fileInfo, templatePath);

                // Parse the document using the template
                var response = apiInstance.Parse(request);

                // Output the parsed data to the console
                foreach (var field in response.Fields)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Field Name: " + field.Name + ", Field Value: " + field.Value);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                // Handle any exceptions that occur during the API call
                Console.WriteLine("Exception when calling ParserApi.Parse: " + e.Message);
            }
        }
    }
