Weight Ticket Data Extraction
Capture the operational fields behind every load—not just the three printed weights—and send clean records to your ERP or transport system.
Manual Entry Loses More Than Time
A weight ticket connects a physical load to a business transaction. Ticket number, vehicle registration, customer, supplier, job, material, timestamps, fees, and weights may all be required downstream. Keying only net weight leaves reconciliation gaps; keying the entire ticket is slow and introduces transcription errors, especially when staff handle photographed, faded, or multilingual slips from multiple locations.
Extract a Complete Operational Record
StructOCR returns nested JSON for facility, parties, job, vehicle, material, weights, timestamps, fees, and validation. Missing text remains null rather than being guessed. Use weighbridge slip to JSON conversion to feed a database or queue, then use the response schema to map only the fields your workflow needs.

Technical Specs
- Endpoint: POST /v1/weighbridge-ticket
- Authentication: x-api-key request header
- Input: Base64 or data URI in JSON; JPG, PNG, WebP, or PDF
- Maximum decoded size: 4.5MB
- Cost: 2 credits per successful request
- Output: Structured JSON with deterministic weight validation
Key Features
- Operational hierarchy: Keeps facility, parties, job, vehicle, material, weight, and fee data grouped.
- Null-safe output: Missing or unreadable fields return null instead of invented content.
- Raw value preservation: Retains printed weight strings for audit and troubleshooting.
- Validation metadata: Separates extraction from deterministic calculation checks.
Send a Ticket to the OCR API
The REST endpoint accepts one Base64-encoded JPG, PNG, WebP, or PDF in the JSON img property. Allow a 60-second client timeout and inspect the validation object before accepting a record.
import base64
import requests
with open("weighbridge-ticket.jpg", "rb") as file:
image = base64.b64encode(file.read()).decode("ascii")
response = requests.post(
"https://api.structocr.com/v1/weighbridge-ticket",
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
json={"img": image},
timeout=60,
)
response.raise_for_status()
result = response.json()
data = result["data"]
print("facility:", data["facility"])
print("parties:", data["parties"])
print("job:", data["job"])
print("vehicle:", data["vehicle"])
print("material:", data["material"])
print("weights:", data["weights"])Validated JSON Response
A successful response contains extracted evidence and a separate validation decision for downstream automation.

}Frequently Asked Questions
Which fields can be extracted from a weight ticket?
The schema covers ticket, facility, supplier, customer, job, order, vehicle, trailer, fleet, driver, material, gross, tare, net, timestamps, fee, operator, notes, confidence, and validation.
What happens when a field is not printed?
It returns null. StructOCR does not infer a customer, vehicle, material, or weight value that is not visible on the document.
Which files can I submit?
The endpoint accepts Base64-encoded JPG, PNG, WebP, and PDF content up to 4.5MB. Public URLs and multipart uploads are not currently accepted by the REST endpoint.
How much does one successful request cost?
A successful weighbridge ticket extraction costs 2 credits. New accounts receive 200 free credits, enough for up to 100 initial scans.
When is it safe to accept a ticket automatically?
Define the rule in your own workflow. A conservative starting point is to require is_weighbridge_ticket and is_valid to be true, confidence to meet your threshold, and validation.needs_review to be false. Keep a human review route for all other results.
Should I use the REST API or an SDK?
Use the REST API from any backend that can send Base64 JSON. The official Python and Node.js SDKs are convenient when you want local file validation, Base64 encoding, and consistent request handling without writing that plumbing yourself.
