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.
