Given a government issued passport document, extract the user face and parse all MRZ fields.

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://pixlab.io/id-scan-api/docscan for the API reference guide and more code samples.
