NanoNets OCR Node.js SDK

The NanoNets Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Node.js SDK.

> NOTE:
>
> - This package supports both CommonJS and ES Module systems.
> - All API requests from the browser will fail due to CORS policies.
> - API Keys have full access to the user's account. Please do not expose API Keys on the client.
> - Please note that compiling, obfuscating, minifying or bundling (for example in React.js, Angular, Vue.js, React Native, etc.) does not hide the API Key and it can still be extracted from the final application.
> - The API Key should only be known to the server code and all client requests to the API must go through a server.

Installation

``
npm install @nanonets/optical-character-recognition
`

Use the NanoNets OCR SDK

> NOTE: A fully working example using the SDK can be found in the example directory.

1. Import/require the OCR package.

`javascript
// ES Modules
import OpticalCharacterRecognition from "@nanonets/optical-character-recognition";

// CommonJS
const OpticalCharacterRecognition = require("@nanonets/optical-character-recognition");
`

2. Instantiate the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) class.

`javascript
const ocr = new OpticalCharacterRecognition(apiKey, modelId);
`

> NOTE:
>
> - The API Key can be found in the user's NanoNets Account section and Model ID can be found in the model's settings in the NanoNets web app.
> - Models need to be created and trained from the NanoNets web app before being able to make predictions.

3. Use the Optical Character Recognition API to get prediction results from the model(s).
