Serbia Passport OCR with the StructOCR Python SDK

Challenges with Serbia Passport Verification

Serbian passports present unique challenges for data extraction due to their sophisticated security features, including holographic overlays and intricate background patterns that can cause glare. Accurately capturing all essential fields requires specialized algorithms. Our advanced passport extraction api is designed to overcome these obstacles.

Serbia Passport OCR with the Python SDK

The official Python SDK handles file encoding, API communication, and structured passport results. Use the SDK directly or open the FastAPI tab for a server endpoint. Keep your API key in STRUCTOCR_API_KEY.

Prerequisite: `pip install structocr`; set the server-side `STRUCTOCR_API_KEY` environment variable.

Prefer another stack? Open the Node.js SDK + Express integration.

import os
from structocr import StructOCR

# Initialize StructOCR Client
client = StructOCR(os.environ["STRUCTOCR_API_KEY"])

def scan_serbia_passport():
    image_path = "serbia_passport_sample.jpg"

    try:
        print(f"Scanning {image_path}...")
        result = client.scan_passport(image_path)

        if result.get('success'):
            data = result['data']
            print("✅ Passport Extraction Successful!")
            print(f"Passport #:  {data.get('passport_number')}")
            print(f"Name:        {data.get('given_names')} {data.get('surname')}")
            print(f"Nationality: {data.get('nationality')}")
            print(f"DOB:         {data.get('date_of_birth')}")
        else:
            print(f"❌ Extraction Failed: {result.get('error')}")

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")
