📦 Installation

pip install textfromimage

# With Azure support
pip install textfromimage[azure]

# With all optional dependencies
pip install textfromimage[all]

🚀 Quick Start

import textfromimage

# Initialize with API key
textfromimage.openai.init(api_key="your-openai-api-key")

# Process single image (URL or local file)
image_url = 'https://example.com/image.jpg'
local_image = '/path/to/local/image.jpg'

# Get description from URL
url_description = textfromimage.openai.get_description(image_path=image_url)

# Get description from local file
local_description = textfromimage.openai.get_description(image_path=local_image)

# Batch processing
image_paths = [
    'https://example.com/image1.jpg',
    '/path/to/local/image2.jpg',
    'https://example.com/image3.jpg'
]

batch_results = textfromimage.openai.get_description_batch(
    image_paths=image_paths,
    concurrent_limit=3  # Process 3 images at a time
)

# Process results
for result in batch_results:
    if result.success:
        print(f"Success for {result.image_path}: {result.description}")
    else:
        print(f"Failed for {result.image_path}: {result.error}")

💡 Advanced Usage

🤖 Multiple Provider Support

# Anthropic Claude Integration
textfromimage.claude.init(api_key="your-anthropic-api-key")

# Single image
claude_description = textfromimage.claude.get_description(
    image_path=image_path,
    model="claude-3-sonnet-20240229"
)

# Batch processing
claude_results = textfromimage.claude.get_description_batch(
    image_paths=image_paths,
    model="claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
    concurrent_limit=3
)

# Azure OpenAI Integration
textfromimage.azure_openai.init(
    api_key="your-azure-openai-api-key",
    api_base="https://your-azure-endpoint.openai.azure.com/",
    deployment_name="your-deployment-name"
)

# Single image with system prompt
azure_description = textfromimage.azure_openai.get_description(
    image_path=image_path,
    system_prompt="Analyze this image in detail"
)

# Batch processing
azure_results = textfromimage.azure_openai.get_description_batch(
    image_paths=image_paths,
    system_prompt="Analyze each image in detail",
    concurrent_limit=3
)

🔧 Configuration Options

# Environment Variable Configuration
import os
os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'your-openai-api-key'
os.environ['ANTHROPIC_API_KEY'] = 'your-anthropic-api-key'

os.environ['AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT'] = 'your-azure-endpoint'
os.environ['AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT'] = 'your-deployment-name'

# Custom options for batch processing
batch_results = textfromimage.openai.get_description_batch(
    image_paths=image_paths,
    model='gpt-4-vision-preview',
    prompt="Describe the main elements of each image",
    max_tokens=300,
    concurrent_limit=5
)

📋 Parameters and Types

🔍 Error Handling

from textfromimage.utils import BatchResult

# Single image processing
try:
    description = textfromimage.openai.get_description(image_path=image_path)
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Image processing error: {e}")
except RuntimeError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e}")

# Batch processing error handling
results = textfromimage.openai.get_description_batch(image_paths)
successful = [r for r in results if r.success]
failed = [r for r in results if not r.success]

for result in failed:
    print(f"Failed to process {result.image_path}: {result.error}")
