This groundbreaking technology is specifically designed for Know Your Customer (KYC) and ID verification tasks, offering customer onboarding solutions that go beyond standard KYC and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. The PixLab DOCSCAN API Endpoint empowers organizations to boost conversions, reduce fraud, and maintain global compliance effortlessly.

The PixLab DOCSCAN API Endpoint revolutionizes the way government-issued documents, including Passports, Visas, U.S Driver License, and ID cards from various countries including but not limited to Malaysia, Singapore, India, and Emirates, are scanned and verified. With a single call, organizations can effortlessly scan and extract critical information from these documents. The API endpoint also features automatic face extraction, enhancing the accuracy and completeness of the scanning process.

Below, the DOCSCAN API endpoint output for a typical Input Passport Image:

And, the extracted Passport (MRZ) Fields

One of the key highlights of the DOCSCAN API endpoint is its ability to transform binary data, such as Passport Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), into a stream of textual content in JSON format. This includes extracting crucial details such as the Full Name, Issuing Country, Document Number, Date of Birth & Expiry, etc.. This seamless integration of the extracted information into your application allows for streamlined and efficient processes, reducing manual effort and eliminating errors.

PixLab takes document scanning and verification to the next level by offering additional features that help identify possible fraudulent documents.

About PixLab

PixLab is a leading provider of advanced image and video analysis solutions, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. With a commitment to innovation, PixLab empowers organizations across industries to automate and streamline their image and video processing workflows. The company's robust APIs and developer-friendly tools enable businesses to extract valuable insights, perform accurate face recognition, analyze emotions, detect objects, and much more.

The PixLab OCR team is pleased to introduce the /docscan API endpoint which let you in a single call scan government issued documents such as Passports, Visas or ID Cards from various countries.

Besides its accurate text scanning capabilities, the /docscan API endpoint shall automatically extract any detected face and transform binary data such as Passport Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) into stream of text payload (i.e. full name, issuing country, document number, date of expiry, etc.) ready to be consumed by your app in the JSON format.

Below, a typical output result of the /docscan endpoint for a passport input image:

The code samples used to achieve such result are available to consult via the following Github links:

• Python code for scanning Passports: passport_scan.py.
• PHP code for scanning Passports: passport_scan.php.

Face extraction is automatically performed using the /facedetect API endpoint. For a general purpose Optical Character Recognition engine, you should rely on the /OCR endpoint instead. If you are dealing with PDF documents, you can convert them at first to raw images via the /pdftoimg endpoint.

Below, a typical Python code snippet for scanning passports:

import requests
import json

# Given a government issued passport document, extract the user face and parse all MRZ fields.
#
# PixLab recommend that you connect your AWS S3 bucket via your dashboard at https://pixlab.io/dashboard
# so that any cropped face or MRZ crop is stored automatically on your S3 bucket rather than the PixLab one.
# This feature should give you full control over your analyzed media files.
#
# https://pixlab.io/#/cmd?id=docscan for additional information.

req = requests.get('https://api.pixlab.io/docscan',params={
    'img':'https://i.stack.imgur.com/oJY2K.png', # Passport sample
    'type':'passport', # Type of document we are a going to scan
    'key':'Pixlab_key'
})
reply = req.json()
if reply['status'] != 200:
    print (reply['error'])
else:
    print ("User Cropped Face: " + reply['face_url'])
    print ("MRZ Cropped Image: " + reply['mrz_img_url'])
    print ("Raw MRZ Text: " + reply['mrz_raw_text'])
    print ("MRZ Fields: ")
    # Display all parsed MRZ fields
    print ("\tIssuing Country: " + reply['fields']['issuingCountry'])
    print ("\tFull Name: "       + reply['fields']['fullName'])
    print ("\tDocument Number: " + reply['fields']['documentNumber'])
    print ("\tCheck Digit: "   + reply['fields']['checkDigit'])
    print ("\tNationality: "   + reply['fields']['nationality'])
    print ("\tDate Of Birth: " + reply['fields']['dateOfBirth'])
    print ("\tSex: "           + reply['fields']['sex'])
    print ("\tDate Of Expiry: "    + reply['fields']['dateOfExpiry'])
    print ("\tPersonal Number: "   + reply['fields']['personalNumber'])
    print ("\tFinal Check Digit: " + reply['fields']['finalcheckDigit'])
