Integrate the OCRSpace API with the Data Stores API

The OCRSpace API enables text extraction from images and PDFs, converting various image formats into editable and searchable data. This service is a game-changer for automating document handling processes, where the need to digitize content is crucial. Pipedream's platform allows for seamless integration of OCRSpace's capabilities with various apps to streamline workflows, such as organizing documents, populating databases, or even triggering event-driven actions based on the extracted content.

Connect OCRSpace#

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`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Data Stores#

Data Stores are a key-value store that allow you to persist state and share data across workflows. You can perform CRUD operations, enabling dynamic data management within your serverless architecture. Use it to save results from API calls, user inputs, or interim data; then read, update, or enrich this data in subsequent steps or workflows. Data Stores simplify stateful logic and cross-workflow communication, making them ideal for tracking process statuses, aggregating metrics, or serving as a simple configuration store.
