# Scan over 11K ID Documents from over 197 countries using the PixLab DOCSCAN API Endpoint
# documented at: https://ekyc.pixlab.io/docscan
#
# In this example, given a Passport document, extract the passport holder face and convert/parse all Machine Readable Zone
# to textual content ready to be consumed by your application.
#
# PixLab recommend that you connect your AWS S3 bucket via the dashboard at https://console.pixlab.io
# so that any extracted face or MRZ crop is automatically stored on your S3 bucket rather than the PixLab one.
# This feature should give you full control over your analyzed media files.
#
# Refer to the official documentation at: https://ekyc.pixlab.io/docscan for the API reference guide and more code samples.
