The OCR.space Online OCR service converts scans or (smartphone) images of text documents into editable files by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). The OCR software also can get text from PDF . Our Online OCR service is free to use, no registration necessary. Just upload your image files.
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
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.
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`,
},
})
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
