Best Practices

Follow these recommendations to get the best extraction results from OCR Platform APIs.

Image Quality

The quality of your input images significantly affects extraction accuracy.

Use high-resolution images (minimum 300 DPI recommended)

Ensure good lighting with minimal shadows

Capture the full document without cropping important areas

Avoid blurry or out-of-focus images

Use supported formats: JPEG, PNG, or WebP

Optimize your API integration for reliability and cost efficiency.

Implement retry logic with exponential backoff for failed requests

Cache extraction results when appropriate to reduce API calls

Use appropriate timeouts (recommended: 30 seconds)

Monitor your usage through the dashboard

Validate extracted data on your end for critical fields

Protect sensitive document data and API credentials.

Never expose API keys in client-side code

Use HTTPS for all API requests

Delete uploaded images after processing when possible

Implement proper access controls for extracted data

Rotate API keys periodically

Optimize for speed and efficiency in production.

Compress images before uploading (keep quality above 80%)

Process documents asynchronously when possible

Use batch processing for multiple documents

Implement proper loading states in your UI
