Inferences

Bill of Lading Inference

You can have the inference via the API or the vision-SDK while the vision-SDK will do the network request for you, the responses from this document will remain the same.

# New Inference

To create a new inference for bill of lading, you'll need to pass the image as a base64 encoded data URL or public web URL. There's a soft cap of about 7.5MB per image for the base64 URL.

You're also able to specify what type of image the parser is looking at, so it can better extract data accurately along with other helpful information listed below:

image string (required)
Base64 encoded image.

barcode_values Array.<String>
Any existing values you've already extracted from the barcode.

location_id String
The ID of the location you want to attribute to this scan.

options Object
Option contains different other optional parameters you can provide along with the image. Those parameters are described below

For example,

        const data = {
  image: "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAASA...", //truncated
  location_id: null, //You an optionally pass the location ID to later filter scans by location
  options: {
    match: {
      search_in: {
        invoice_number: true,
        order_number: true,
        purchase_order_number: true,
        reference_number: true,
        customer_purchase_order_number: true,
        container_number: true,
        load_number: false,
      },
      search_type: "match_some",
    },
  },
};

const res = await fetch("https://api.packagex.io/v1/inferences/images/bills-of-lading", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "PX-API-KEY": process.env.PX_API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(data),
}).then((res) => res.json());

const scan = response.data;
