Top Free ID Parser tools, APIs, and Open Source models

What is ID Parser API?

ID/Passport parsing APIs, also called Identity Document Processing APIs, are used to automate the extraction of relevant data from identity documents such as passports, driver's licenses, and national ID cards. These APIs use OCR and machine learning to extract structured data from identity documents quickly and accurately.
