Documentación de la API

Integra CrazyOCR en tu aplicación con nuestra API REST.

Base URL

https://crazyocr.com

Protocol

HTTPS / REST

Key lifetime

Configurable (7–365 days, default 30)

Autenticación

Every request must include your API key in the Authorization header using the Bearer scheme.

Authorization: Bearer crazy_your_api_key_here

Create and manage keys in the API Management tab. Keys can be set to expire (7–365 days) when created, and can be revoked at any time. The Free plan does not include API access.

Límites y cuotas

API calls and web OCR share the same monthly quota (requests + pages combined) — there is no separate API pool. Basic: 1,000 requests / 10,000 pages per month. Premium: 5,000 requests / 50,000 pages per month. API tasks are counted against your quota but never stored in your OCR history or file storage. Quotas reset on the 1st of each month.

Plan	Solicitudes / mes	Pages / Month	Tamaño máx. de archivo	Páginas / archivo
Free	—	—	No API access	—
Basic	1,000	10,000	200 MB	200
Premium	5,000	50,000	200 MB	200

Exceeding your monthly limit returns HTTP 429. Upgrade your plan to raise the limit.
