API Reference

Class: Img2TxtClient

__init__(api_key: str)

Create a new client instance.

• api_key (str): Your img2txt.io API key. You can generate one from the img2txt.io dashboard.

process(image_path: str, output_type: str = "raw", description: str = "", outputStructure: str = "") -> dict

Uploads the image at image_path and converts it to text or structured output.

Parameters:

• image_path (str): Local path to the image file. Must exist, otherwise raises FileNotFoundError.
• output_type (str): The output format. Defaults to raw. Other valid types depend on the API (e.g., json, structured).
• description (str): Optional description or context to improve text extraction.
• outputStructure (str): Optional JSON string defining a structure/schema for the output. Must be valid JSON or raises ValueError.

Returns:

• dict: Parsed JSON response from the API. On failure, raises RuntimeError.
• Example response:

  {
      'text_output': [
          'Los Angeles', 'Florida', '$235', 'Round trip', 'Economy',
          '1 passenger', 'Lowest total price'
      ],
      'job_id': '16e2364a-e1e2-468e-9be9-e07b695b2afd',
      'creditsLeft': 86.115,
      'success': True,
      'message': 'Image processed successfully.'
  }
  

Error Handling

• Missing files raise FileNotFoundError.
• Invalid JSON in outputStructure raises ValueError.
• API failures raise RuntimeError.
