To extract text from an image using the OCRSpace API, you can use the following Pipedream component code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { ocrspace: { type: "app", app: "ocrspace", }, imageUrl: { type: "string", label: "Image URL", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { return await axios($, { url: `https://api.ocr.space/parse/imageurl`, params: { apikey: `${this.ocrspace.$auth.apikey}`, url: `${this.imageUrl}`, }, }); }, }); Replace image_url_goes_here with the URL of the image you want to extract text from. This component will make a request to the OCRSpace API and return the extracted text.

what do i place in the “image URL” portion of the configure section

In the “Image URL” portion of the configure section, you should place the URL of the image you want to extract text from. This URL should point to an image file (e.g., a .jpg, .png, or other image formats) that the OCRSpace API can process. Make sure the image is publicly accessible so that the API can access it.
