US W9 OCR PHP
The PHP OCR SDK supports the W9 API.
Using the sample below, we are going to illustrate how to extract the data that we want using the OCR SDK.
Quick-Start
<?php
use Mindee\Client;
use Mindee\Product\Us\W9\W9V1;
// Init a new client
$mindeeClient = new Client("my-api-key");
// Load a file from disk
$inputSource = $mindeeClient->sourceFromPath("/path/to/the/file.ext");
// Parse the file
$apiResponse = $mindeeClient->parse(W9V1::class, $inputSource);
echo strval($apiResponse->document);
Output (RST):

Field Types
Standard Fields
These fields are generic and used in several products.
BasicField
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 (
float|string
): corresponds to the field value. Can benull
if no value was extracted. - confidence (
float
): the confidence score of the field prediction. - boundingBox (
[Point, Point, Point, Point]
): contains exactly 4 relative vertices (points) coordinates of a right rectangle containing the field in the document. - polygon (
Point[]
): contains the relative vertices coordinates (Point
) of a polygon containing the field in the image. - pageId (
integer
): the ID of the page, isnull
when at document-level. - reconstructed (
bool
): indicates whether an object was reconstructed (not extracted as the API gave it).
Note: 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 __toString
method that can be used to print their value as a string.
PositionField
The position field PositionField
does not implement all the basic BaseField
attributes, only boundingBox, polygon and pageId. On top of these, it has access to:
- rectangle (
[Point, Point, Point, Point]
): a Polygon with four points that may be oriented (even beyond canvas). - quadrangle (
[Point, Point, Point, Point]
): a free polygon made up of four points.
StringField
The text field StringField
only has one constraint: its value is an optional ?string
.
Page-Level Fields
Some fields are constrained to the page level, and so will not be retrievable to through the document.
