OCR.chat mga artikulo.

Isang HTTP kahilingan ay gumagawa ng isang imahe o PDF sa malinis na teksto, Markdown, mga talahanayan, at JSON — sa 100 + wika. Metered bawat pahina, walang sorpresa.

Pangkalahatang-ideya

The OCR.chat API is a small REST interface. You POST a file and get back a job with the recognized text and a per-page breakdown (text, bounding boxes, confidence). Jobs of 5 pages or fewer return inline; larger jobs return immediately with a pending status that you poll until done.

  • Base URL: https://ocr.chat
  • Formats in: PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, and multi-page PDF
  • Formats out: txt, md, docx, pdf, csv, json
  • Engines: cpu (fast, printed docs) and vlm (premium AI, handwriting, complex layout, math)

Pag-authenticate

Authenticate with your API token (find it on your account page) as a Bearer header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

You can also pass ?api_token=… as a query parameter. Usage is metered against your account's page balance.

Mag-submit ng isang dokumento

POST /api/v1/ocr/, multipart form upload.

curl -X POST https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -F "file=@invoice.pdf" \
  -F "tier=vlm" \
  -F "language=auto"

Returns the job. For ≤5-page files it is already done with the text; larger files come back pending/processing, poll the status endpoint.

{
  "uuid": "9f2c1b7e4a...",
  "status": "done",
  "tier": "vlm",
  "language": "auto",
  "page_count": 1,
  "mean_confidence": 0.98,
  "text": "INVOICE\nAcme Corp\nTotal: 215.00 USD",
  "markdown": "# INVOICE\n\n**Acme Corp** ...",
  "pages": [ { "index": 0, "text": "...", "blocks": [ { "text": "...", "bbox": [x0,y0,x1,y1], "confidence": 0.98 } ] } ]
}

Kumuha ng isang resulta

GET /api/v1/ocr/<uuid>/, poll until status is done or failed.

curl https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/9f2c1b7e4a.../ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

I-download ang isang format

GET /api/v1/ocr/<uuid>/download/?format=md, export the result. format is one of txt, md, docx, pdf, csv, json.

curl -L "https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/9f2c1b7e4a.../download/?format=docx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" -o result.docx

Mag-chat sa isang dokumento

Magtanong ng mga katanungan tungkol sa isang tapos na trabaho. Ang mga sagot ay nakabatay lamang sa mga nakuhang teksto at banggitin ang source page. Kinakailangan ng isang account token — ang chat feature ay account-gated.

POST /api/v1/chat/<uuid>/, JSON body {"message": "your question"}.

curl -X POST https://ocr.chat/api/v1/chat/9f2c1b7e4a.../ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "What is the invoice total and due date?"}'

Bumalik ang assistant mensahe na may sagot nito at isang listahan ng mga nabanggit na mga pahina:

{"conversation": "a1b2…", "message": {
   "role": "assistant",
   "content": "The total is $42, due on March 3 (p. 1).",
   "citations": [{"page": 1, "snippet": "The invoice total is $42…"}]
}}

GET /api/v1/chat/<uuid>/history/, kumuha ng buong transcript ng pag-uusap para sa isang trabaho.

Mga halimbawa ng code

import requests, time

API = "https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/"
H = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"}

# Submit
with open("invoice.pdf", "rb") as f:
    job = requests.post(API, headers=H,
        files={"file": f}, data={"tier": "vlm"}).json()

# Poll until done
while job["status"] in ("pending", "processing"):
    time.sleep(2)
    job = requests.get(API + job["uuid"] + "/", headers=H).json()

print(job["markdown"])

# Download as DOCX
r = requests.get(API + job["uuid"] + "/download/",
                 headers=H, params={"format": "docx"})
open("result.docx", "wb").write(r.content)
import fs from "fs";

const API = "https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/";
const H = { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" };

const form = new FormData();
form.append("file", new Blob([fs.readFileSync("invoice.pdf")]), "invoice.pdf");
form.append("tier", "vlm");

let job = await (await fetch(API, { method: "POST", headers: H, body: form })).json();

while (["pending", "processing"].includes(job.status)) {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000));
  job = await (await fetch(API + job.uuid + "/", { headers: H })).json();
}
console.log(job.markdown);
# 1. Submit
curl -X POST https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -F "file=@invoice.pdf" -F "tier=vlm"

# 2. Poll  (use the uuid from step 1)
curl https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/UUID/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

# 3. Download
curl -L "https://ocr.chat/api/v1/ocr/UUID/download/?format=md" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" -o result.md

Error & limitasyon

CodeMeaning
400No file, unsupported type, or file too large.
401Missing or invalid API token.
402Out of pages, daily/monthly free limit reached, or no credits. The body includes used/cap.
404Job UUID not found.
409Download requested before the job finished.

Each page processed costs credits (1/page on the fast tier, more on premium). Paid plans raise per-file page caps and add priority. See pricing.

Mga madalas itanong na katanungan

Create a free account and open your account page, your token is shown there with a copy button.

Yes, files of 5 pages or fewer return the full result inline in the POST response, so no polling is needed for most images and short PDFs.

Over 100, including Latin, CJK, Arabic, Cyrillic and Indic scripts. Use language=auto to detect, or pass a specific code.

Uploads are processed for OCR and deleted automatically. We never sell, share, or train on your documents.

Ang paggamit ay sinusukat bawat pahina laban sa iyong balanse ng account: anonymous tawag makakuha ng isang per-IP araw-araw na allowance, libreng account ng isang buwanang bucket, at bayad na mga plano gamitin ang binili credits na may mas mataas na per-file page caps at prayoridad. Kapag ikaw ay tumakbo out makakuha ka ng isang 402 na may ginagamit at cap sa katawan.

Maaari kang magpadala ng PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, at multi-page PDF. Mga resulta ng pag-download bilang txt, MD, DOCX, PDF (searchable), CSV, o JSON sa pamamagitan ng pag-download ng endpoint ng format parameter.

400 ay isang nawawalang file, hindi suportado uri, o file masyadong malaki; 401 isang nawawalang o hindi wastong token; 402 out ng mga pahina; 404 isang hindi kilalang trabaho UUID; at 409 isang download na hiniling bago ang trabaho tapos na. Error katawan isama ang isang maikling mensahe.

Ang isang trabaho bagay na may katayuan, antas, wika, page_count, at mean_confidence, pati na rin ang buong teksto at markdown. Ang mga pahina array breaks bawat pahina sa mga bloke na may kanilang teksto, bounding kahon (bbox), at bawat-block tiwala.

Gamitin ang cpu (ang default) para sa mabilis, mababang gastos pagkilala ng malinis na naka-print na mga dokumento. Gamitin vlm, ang premium AI engine, para sa pagsulat ng kamay, kumplikadong o multi-haligi layout, matematika, at pagsasalin, kung saan ito ay malayo mas tumpak.

Ipasa tool na may isang slug (halimbawa extract-tables o handwriting-to-text) upang ilapat na tool's tuned preset. Para sa isalin tool, din ipasa translate_to sa target na wika code upang makakuha ng kinikilalang teksto bumalik isinalin.

File ng5mga pahina o mas kaunti bumalik inline sa POST tugon. mas malaki ang mga file bumalik agad bilang pending o pagpoproseso, at ikaw poll GET /api/v1/ocr/<uuid>/ hanggang sa katayuan ay tapos na o nabigo. Paid plano itaas ang bawat-file na pahina cap.

Ang API ay simpleng REST sa HTTPS, kaya ito ay gumagana mula sa anumang wika na may isang HTTP client - tingnan ang Python, Node.js, at cURL halimbawa sa itaas. Walang SDK upang i-install; ilang linya ng standard HTTP code ay ang lahat ng kailangan mo.
