VIN OCR API
An API to detect vehicle VINs in images, and scanned documents.
A VIN number detector on images and documents
This API allows you to extract VIN VINs from any image or scanned document, even photos with adverse conditions for OCR.
ZPK's OCR for vehicle VINs can extract correct VINs even in photographs with reflections, dirt, rain and other conditions that in other traditional OCRs would return incorrect data.

VIN autocorrection
ZPK's VINS OCR API is capable of detecting errors in the text provided, either due to a low-quality image or human typing errors.
In these cases our API will automatically provide a correct VIN informing your application that the number was corrected by our AI.
Data extraction
A VIN is not just a serial number, it contains relevant information about the vehicle to which it belongs.
This information, however, is subject to a multitude of particularities and exceptions depending on countries, manufacturing areas, types of vehicles, year of manufacture, and changes in the standard.
ZPK's VIN OCR takes all these particularities into account, being able to discern whether or not the extracted data is applicable to specific vehicles, and providing more reliable information.
Edge cases
The VIN number of a vehicle should contain a control digit to know if the VIN was correctly written... in the USA and Canada, but not in Europe, but in some places in Asia.
In turn, the manufacturer Lamborghini incorrectly numbered some of its vehicles during the year 2001, causing this validation that should work to fail.
Our API takes into account these and hundreds of small details like these to provide the most relevant data and report its reliability.
Transparent pricing
This and all of ZPK's APIs work on a cost-per-demand basis, there are no hidden fees or account maintenance fees, and we don't charge a monthly minimum for 'packs of thousands of requests' that you may not need.
You pay solely and exclusively for the use of the API, and there are no volume discounts because we offer the best price from the first request.
