This API can extract data from various identity documents, including passports, driver's licenses, and ID cards worldwide. This API is essential for identity verification, form autofill, and compliance processes, offering a streamlined solution for extracting relevant details from identification documents quickly and reliably.
The atoms cost is subjected to change depending on the size of the input file and the provider selected. The list of providers and the atoms cost for each provider is given below:

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
