Image-Based Data Extraction API using Gemini AI
This workflow utilizes a Webhook interface to intelligently extract information from images. Users only need to provide the image URL, which will be automatically downloaded and converted to Base64 format, allowing for efficient text recognition using Google Gemini AI. The extracted content can be flexibly configured and is ultimately output in a structured JSON format, facilitating subsequent system integration. This solution simplifies the traditional image text extraction process, enhancing accuracy and automation, and is suitable for data processing of various types of documents, financial receipts, and forms.
