Quick Start

OCRAny API uses RESTful design and supports text recognition from images via HTTP requests.

Authentication

All API requests require authentication using an API key. You can obtain your API key in the console.

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

Base Endpoint

The base URL for the API is:

https://api.ocrany.com

Recognize Text from Images

Send a POST request to the /ocr endpoint, upload an image file or provide an image URL.

cURLPythonJavaScript

curl -X POST https://api.ocrany.com/ocr \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -F "file=@/path/to/image.jpg"import requests

url = "https://api.ocrany.com/ocr"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}

with open("image.jpg", "rb") as f:
    files = {"file": f}
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files)

print(response.json())const form = new FormData();
form.append('file', fileInput.files[0]);

fetch('https://api.ocrany.com/ocr', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
  },
  body: form
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data))
.catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));
