Extract data from a document Version 3 (Python)

Action group: Text recognition


Description

The action extracts data from documents (Passport 2-3 pages, Passport 5 pages, personal insurance policy number) and saves it as a dictionary containing extracted document data and an image with blocks from which the data was extracted. The action uses Dbrain services for data extraction, so it requires a vendor API key.
