My OCR API conversions
Accessing Your OCR API Conversion Data
Access your current conversions through the “myAPI.ocr.space” API.
The API call process is straightforward.
Simply send a POST request to https://myapi.ocr.space/conversions, including your API key in the header.
Below is an example of making this call using Postman:
When you use the API, you get a response in JSON format. This shows the number of conversions for Engine1, Engine2, and the total (which is Engine1 plus Engine2).
The number of conversions is updated once a day. So, if you use the API today, it will show you the conversions from the start of the month up to the end of yesterday.
Conversions are counted like this: For pictures, each time you use the API, it counts as one conversion. For PDF files, every page in the PDF counts as one conversion. So, if you send a PDF with 8 pages, it is counted as 8 conversions. API calls that result in error messages are of course not counted. If you need more conversions, see How to add more conversions.
Please be aware that this API is exclusively available for users with PRO and PRO PDF accounts. It is not accessible with a free OCR plan API key. If used with an invalid API key, the API returns 0 conversions.
You can also access the conversion numbers from last month. To do so, add a “startDate | lastMonth” parameter to the body of the call. It uses form-data, just as the regular OCR API. Here is the Postman example (note that "startDate" is case-sensitive, so do not use "startdate"):
In the event you believe there's been an error and conversions are not counted correctly, don't hesitate to reach out to technical support. We're committed to investigating the issue promptly. For efficiency, please include your order ID in your inquiry. This ID, necessary for locating your records, can be found in your original confirmation email and subsequent invoice communications.
