Representative actions
- Get Conversion Statistics
Retrieve OCR API conversion statistics and usage data (PRO accounts only). Returns the number of conversions for Engine1, Engine2, and total conversions. Data is updated once daily and shows conversions from start of month to end of yesterday. Free API keys will return 0 conversions.
- Extract Text from Image/PDF (OCR)
Extract text from images and PDF documents using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Supports 27 languages, table recognition, orientation detection, and word-level coordinate extraction. Provide exactly one of `file`, `url`, or `base64Image`; providing multiple or none triggers E301/OCRExitCode 99. Input can be provided as file upload, public URL, or base64-encoded data URI. Response is nested JSON; extract text from `ParsedResults[*].ParsedText`. Returns extracted text with optional overlay coordinates and searchable PDF generation. For poor-quality scans, enable both `detectOrientation` and `scale` and ensure `language` matches the document.
- Extract Text from Image URL (GET)
Extract text from images via URL using simplified GET endpoint. Only supports URL-based submissions - no file uploads or base64 encoding. Faster and simpler than POST endpoint for basic use cases.
