Go to siteThe OCRSpace API provides an efficient way to convert texts from images into text formats with an accuracy of up to 90%. With the OCRSpace API, you can build applications that are able to extract text from images and turn them into a usable text format. Here are some examples of what you can build with the OCRSpace API:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
ocrspace: {
type: "app",
app: "ocrspace",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.ocr.space/parse/imageurl`,
params: {
apikey: `${this.ocrspace.$auth.apikey}`,
url: `image_url_goes_here`,
},
})
},
})
OCRSpace uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your OCRSpace account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to OCRSpace APIs in both code and no-code steps.
In order to get an API Key, you need to register here for your free OCR API key. Then follow the instructions that are sent to the email you provided when registering.
