Verify if a Ghanaian ID document is legit through OCR
Appruve's OCR API allows you to extract the Personally identifiable information from a Ghana ID document including the ID face photo. The endpoint is constructed as follows.
https://api.appruve.co/v1/verifications/selfie_image/ocr/gh/{id_type}
id_type should be replaced with the specific ID type. Supported ID types include passport, voter, driver_license, and ssnit.
The request is a multipart POST request as shown in the example below. The id_image parameter is required and the value could be a File Object or a web URL.
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.appruve.co/v1/verifications/selfie_image/ocr/gh/driver_license' \--header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \--form '[email protected]"/path/gh_driver_license_1.jpg"'
