Introducing the New DOCSCAN API - Vision-Powered, SDK-Free, and Easier Than Ever

The PixLab Development Team is thrilled to announce the release of the next-generation DOCSCAN API, the core engine behind the newly rebranded PixLab ID Scan Platform.

Built from the ground up with Vision Language Models and hosted on the powerful PixLab Vision infrastructure, this update brings unmatched simplicity, security, and intelligence to identity document processing.

🌍 A Platform Re-imagined

Say goodbye to complex SDK integrations. The new DOCSCAN API requires no client-side SDKs, just a single HTTPS-enabled REST endpoint that supports both GET and POST requests. This means you can call DOCSCAN from any programming environment, whether you're using Python, Java, PHP, Go, or even a shell script.

⚡ What's New in This Version?

âś… Powered by Vision Language Models

The new DOCSCAN API harnesses the full power of PixLab’s Vision Language Models to extract structured, high-quality data from scanned documents with increased accuracy and robustness.

âś… No SDK Required

Forget installing SDKs or maintaining device-specific libraries. DOCSCAN is pure REST—simple, fast, and universal.

âś… Single Endpoint Simplicity

âś… TLS 1.3 Secured

All API traffic is encrypted end-to-end using TLS 1.3, ensuring maximum security and compliance from the first byte.
