Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://archtools.dev/v1/tools/ocr-extractWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to extract text from images programmatically, especially within an AI agent workflow that already uses Arch Tools' suite of data-processing utilities. It supports both URL-based and base64-encoded image input, making it flexible for both remote images and locally encoded files. Ideal for agents automating document digitization, receipt parsing, screenshot reading, or any task requiring machine-readable text from visual content.
Side effects
- Image URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-200 status
- Base64 string is malformed or not a valid image encoding
- Image format is unsupported (e.g. TIFF, BMP variants)
- Image is too low resolution for reliable text recognition
- No text found in the image returns empty or minimal result
- Both image_url and image_base64 omitted causes a validation error
- Payment not processed correctly due to x402 protocol issues
