Pre-Requisite

• An account at https://console.ews.ekycsolutions.com
• A project created on the web console
• An api credential and name it api-key.json

Getting Started

0. create a new nodejs project, mkdir my-awesome-app && cd my-awesome-app && npm init -y
1. install your choice of server library, eg: npm i fastify
2. for ml-vision sdk, install the library npm i got @ekycsolutions/client @ekycsolutions/ml-vision
3. prepare an id card photo to be used for this testing and the following code will call an ocr request to do id-ocr so save the code at main.mjs

// my-awesome-app/main.mjs

// NOTE: the below code is for testing purpose,
// please follow javascript best practices and
// apply some coding patterns

// for api references, please visit: https://docs.ews.ekycsolutions.com
import path from 'path';

import Fastify from 'fastify';
import { EkycClient } from '@ekycsolutions/client';
import { MLVision } from '@ekycsolutions/ml-vision';

const ekycClient = new EkycClient({
  auth: {
    clientCertSavePath: '/tmp/client.cert.pem',
    clientCertKeySavePath: '/tmp/client.key.pem',
    apiKeyPath: path.resolve('./', 'api-key.json'),
  },
});

const mlVision = new MLVision(ekycClient);

const fastify = Fastify({
  logger: true,
});

fastify.post('/test-id-ocr', async (req, reply) => {
  const result = await mlVision.ocr({
    isRaw: true,
    objectType: 'national_id',
    imageUrl: req.body['imageUrl'],
  });

  reply.send(result);
});

fastify.listen(5000, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    fastify.log.error(err);
    process.exit(1);
  }
});

4. run the server node main.mjs
5. test the endpoint curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/test-id-ocr -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"imageUrl": "https://example.com/sample-national-id.jpg"}'

   NOTE: if you test the sdk in local environment, also install ngrok by doing npm i ngrok --dev and run ngrok http 5000, and save the address for later used below

2. prepare an id card photo to be used for this testing and the following code will call an ocr request to do id-ocr so save the code at main.mjs

      console.log('==== ml api result ====');
      console.log(JSON.stringify(onMlApiResult, null, 2));
      console.log('==== ml api metadata ====');
      console.log(metadata);

  },
});

fastify.listen({ port: 5000 }, err => {
  if (err) {
    fastify.log.error(err);
    process.exit(1);
  }
});

3. run the server node main.mjs
4. test the endpoint curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/v0/ocr -F image=@/path/to/national-id-card.jpg -F objectType=NATIONAL_ID_0
