How this service works

Output
A JSON object containing a 'text' field with all recognized characters from the image as a plain string, plus a 'characters' integer indicating the total character count extracted.
Example use cases
Receipt text extraction for expense tracking
“Pull all the text out of this receipt image so I can log the line items: https://example.com/receipt_jan.jpg”
Scanned document digitization
“I have a scanned page at https://docs.example.com/scan_001.png — can you OCR it and give me the plain text so I can search it?”
Foreign language sign reading
“There's a photo of a road sign in French at https://cdn.example.com/sign.jpg — use OCR with language code fra to read what it says.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://sift.srv1996466.hstgr.cloud/v1/ocr?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to extract text from a remotely hosted image and want pay-per-call pricing with no subscription. It is especially suitable for agents that process images occasionally rather than in high volume, and when you want guaranteed no-charge on failure (only billed on HTTP 200). Prefer this over self-hosted OCR when you want zero infrastructure overhead and multilingual support via language code.
Side effects
- Image URL is unreachable or returns non-200 — endpoint returns an error and no charge is made
- Unsupported image format — non-image URLs (e.g. HTML pages) will fail or return empty text
- Invalid language code — may fall back to default 'eng' or return an error
- Very low-resolution or heavily degraded images may yield empty or garbled text
- Network timeout fetching the image URL
