This n8n workflow provides a ready-to-use API endpoint for extracting structured data from images. The API takes an image URL as input, processes it using an AI-powered OCR model, and returns relevant extracted details in a structured JSON format.

- The workflow converts the image to base64 before processing.
- It utilizes an AI-powered model (Gemini API) for text extraction.
- The output is formatted to include only the required fields.
- You can customize the extraction criteria by modifying the request parameters.
- Supports integration with various applications for automated data entry and processing.

It can be used for various use cases, such as:

- Document OCR (ID cards, invoices, receipts)
- Text Extraction from Images
- Automated Form Processing
- Business Card Data Extraction

Simply send a GET request with an image URL, define the extraction requirements, and receive structured JSON data in response.
