🚀 What's New in 1.3.1

We've massively upgraded our Identity Verification engine!

• Hybrid VIZ + MRZ AI for National IDs: The SDK now automatically cross-validates unstructured Visual Zone (VIZ) data against cryptographic Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) checksums (TD1/TD2) for zero hallucination. Raw MRZ lines are now accessible via additional_fields.
• Previous marine & expense additions (Receipt OCR, HIN OCR, Container OCR) remain fully supported.

Check out the Quick Start below to see how easy it is to use them!

Features

• Passport OCR API: Instantly extract MRZ, name, DOB, and expiry date from passports of 200+ countries.
• National ID OCR: Extract regional specific fields (CNP, CPF, NIN) and raw ICAO 9303 MRZ lines with hybrid validation.
• Driver License OCR: Extract vehicle class, license number, and personal details.
• Invoice OCR: Extract invoice number, currency, merchant, customer, and financial totals.
• Receipt OCR: Extract merchants, dates, line items, taxes, and totals for expense management.
• VIN OCR: Extract VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) from windshield or engine bay images.
• HIN OCR: Validate and extract Hull Identification Numbers from marine vessels.
• Container OCR: Extract shipping container numbers accurately from images.
• Secure & Fast: Enterprise-grade encryption, SOC2 compliance, and sub-second response times with zero data retention.

Installation

Install the package via pip:

pip install structocr

Quick Start

1. Initialize the Client

from structocr import StructOCR

# Initialize with your API Key
client = StructOCR(api_key="sk_live_xxxxxxxx")

2. Scan a Passport (Passport OCR)

# Pass the path to the passport image file
result = client.scan_passport('./docs/passport_sample.jpg')

print(f"Name: {result['data']['name']}")
print(f"Passport Number: {result['data']['document_number']}")

3. Scan Other Documents and Assets

# National ID OCR
id_data = client.scan_national_id('./docs/id_card.png')

# Driver License OCR
license_data = client.scan_driver_license('./docs/license.jpg')

# Invoice OCR
invoice_data = client.scan_invoice('./docs/invoice.jpg')

# Receipt OCR (New in 1.2.0)
receipt_data = client.scan_receipt('./docs/receipt.jpg')

# VIN OCR
vin_data = client.scan_vin('./docs/vin.jpg')

# HIN OCR (New in 1.2.0)
hin_data = client.scan_hin('./docs/boat_hin.jpg')

# Container OCR
container_data = client.scan_container('./docs/container.jpg')
