Container OCR API for Malaysian Logistics

Upgrading Malaysia's Logistics Infrastructure

As Malaysia cements its position as a critical manufacturing and shipping hub in Southeast Asia, local terminals and inland depots are transitioning from manual clipboard logging to automated yard management. This transition is often stalled by expensive, proprietary OCR hardware and software SDKs that are difficult for local IT teams to maintain. Furthermore, unpredictable tropical weather degrades image quality. For a deeper dive into overcoming these environmental hurdles, see our core Container OCR capabilities.

StructOCR: The Lightweight Integration Partner

We provide a pure, high-performance REST API that acts as the foundational intelligence for your logistics upgrade, completely eliminating the need for complex local SDK installations. Powered by our Logistics Container OCR engine, it easily integrates into any local WMS or TOS. The API includes strict ISO 6346 validation logic to mathematically verify codes before your database records them, ensuring accuracy at scale.

Integration & AI Prompts

Call the endpoint directly via standard HTTP. The API securely processes raw Base64 strings, direct multipart file uploads, or standard image URLs.

import requests
import base64

# Prepare Base64 Image from local depot capture
with open("klang_depot_gate.jpg", "rb") as image_file:
    base64_image = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')

url = "https://api.structocr.com/v1/container"
headers = {
    "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
payload = {
    "img": base64_image
}

try:
    print("Processing Gate Image...")
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload)
    result = response.json()

    if result.get('success'):
        data = result['data']['parsed']
        print("✅ Extraction Complete!")
        print(f"Container ID: {data.get('owner_code')}{data.get('category')}{data.get('serial_number')}-{data.get('check_digit')}")
    else:
        print(f"❌ Extraction Failed: {result.get('message')}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
