Driver License

The Python SDK supports the Mindee V1 Driver License API.

Product Specifications

Specification	Details
Endpoint Name	driver_license
Recommended Version	v1.0
Supports Polling/Webhooks	✔️ Yes
Support Synchronous HTTP Calls	❌ No
Geography	🌐 Global

Quick-Start

Using the sample below, we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the SDK.

Sample Code

#
# Install the Python client library by running:
# pip install mindee
#

from mindee import Client, product, AsyncPredictResponse

# Init a new client
mindee_client = Client(api_key="my-api-key")

# Load a file from disk
input_doc = mindee_client.source_from_path("/path/to/the/file.ext")

# Load a file from disk and enqueue it.
result: AsyncPredictResponse = mindee_client.enqueue_and_parse(
    product.DriverLicenseV1,
    input_doc,
)

# Print a brief summary of the parsed data
print(result.document)

Sample Output (rST)

Standard Fields

These fields are generic and used in several products.

BaseField

Each prediction object contains a set of fields that inherit from the generic BaseField class. A typical BaseField object will have the following attributes:

• value (Union[float, str]): corresponds to the field value. Can be None if no value was extracted.

• confidence (float): the confidence score of the field prediction.

• bounding_box ([Point, Point, Point, Point]): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document.

• polygon (List[Point]): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point) of a polygon containing the field in the image.

• page_id (int): the ID of the page, always None when at document-level.

• reconstructed (bool): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).

A Point simply refers to a list of two numbers ([float, float]).

Aside from the previous attributes, all basic fields have access to a custom __str__ method that can be used to print their value as a string.

DateField

Aside from the basic BaseField attributes, the date field DateField also implements the following:

• date_object (Date): an accessible representation of the value as a python object. Can be None.

StringField

The text field StringField only has one constraint: its value is an Optional[str].
