### Basic Statement Parsing

Source: https://bankstatementparser.com

Detect the format of a statement file, create a parser instance, and parse the statement into a pandas DataFrame. Ensure the statement file exists in the specified path.

```python
from bankstatementparser import create_parser, detect_statement_format

fmt = detect_statement_format("statement.xml")
parser = create_parser("statement.xml", fmt)
df = parser.parse()  # pandas DataFrame, ready to use
```

### Hybrid PDF Parsing with Smart Ingest

Source: https://bankstatementparser.com

Utilize the smart_ingest function for parsing PDF statements, which automatically selects the best extraction method (deterministic, LLM, or vision). The result includes the source method and verification status.

```python
# Parse PDFs with the hybrid pipeline (v0.0.5+)
from bankstatementparser.hybrid import smart_ingest

result = smart_ingest("statement.pdf")
print(result.source_method)         # "deterministic" | "llm" | "vision"
print(result.verification.status)   # VERIFIED | DISCREPANCY | FAILED
```
