Google Cloud Vision API Endpoint for OCR

To use Google Cloud Vision for Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the API endpoint is as follows:

• Endpoint URL: https://vision.googleapis.com/v1/images:annotate

This endpoint processes images to detect and extract text using the TEXT_DETECTION or DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION features. To make requests, you must include your API key or authenticate with the credentials.json obtained earlier.
