Simple OCR
AI-generatedSummary
Perform OCR text extraction on input files or binary data using the Aparavi DTC platform's Simple OCR pipeline.
Inputs
- Input Type (required) — Specify the type of input to process: file from local filesystem, binary data from previous node, or text data (text input is not supported for this OCR operation). Default is 'File Path'.
- File Path — Full path to the local file to process, used only if Input Type is 'File Path'. This is not supported in n8n Cloud; binary input should be used instead.
- Binary Property — Name of the binary property containing the file to process, used only if Input Type is 'Binary Data'. Defaults to 'data'.
- Options — Optional settings such as 'Custom Base URL' to override the API endpoint, 'Timeout (seconds)', and 'Retry Attempts' on failure.
Output shape
a single JSON object containing the OCR extracted text and related metadata as returned by the Aparavi DTC service, paired with the input item index.
The operation sends the file or binary content to the Aparavi OCR processing pipeline and returns parsed text results. Processing a file path input in n8n Cloud is unsupported; use binary data instead. The output object may include keys like 'text', 'result', 'data', or 'documents' depending on the backend response. Errors during processing cause node failure unless 'Continue On Fail' is enabled.
