About the API:
This API is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool. Any picture you pass to it will be examined and extract every word within it.
What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?
You will need to pass the image URL of your choice. And you will be delivered the text content that it has. It's a very intuitive API and you will be amazed by the results.
What are the most common uses cases of this API?
This API is ideal for those companies that have stored a lot of images and want to retrieve the text that they contain. This will help you to recognize if your brand is being used in images across the web without authorization.
Also, this API will help to categorize those images with text. Thanks to character recognition, you will be delivered with the full words and you will be able to detect the category of the image just by reading its text.
Are there any limitations with your plans?
Besides API call limitations per month, all the plans work the same!

My payment was declined, what should I do?
Sometimes depending on the bank's fraud protection settings, a bank will decline the validation charge we make when we attempt to be sure a card is valid. We recommend first contacting your bank to see if they are blocking our charges. If more help is needed, please contact [email protected] and our team will investigate further
How will I be charged for my API subscription?
Prices are based on a recurring monthly subscription depending on the plan selected — plus overage fees applied when a developer exceeds a plan’s quota limits. In this example, you'll see the base plan amount as well as a quota limit of API requests. Be sure to notice the overage fee because you will be charged for each additional request.
How your billing cycle works?
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
How do I upgrade my current subscription plan with an API?
Just go to the pricing page of that API and select the plan that you want to upgrade to. You will only be charged the full amount of that plan, but you will be enjoying the features that the plan offers right away.
