Our powerful license plate detection API can identify the position, size and content of license plates within an image. To work effectively, this API requires license plates to be within 15–20 degrees on-axis to the camera. To make a custom code connection for your project in Go, take advantage of ready-to-run code from our API console page:

package mainimport (
"fmt"
"bytes"
"mime/multipart"
"os"
"path/filepath"
"io"
"net/http"
"io/ioutil"
)
func main() {url := "https://api.cloudmersive.com/image/recognize/detect-vehicle-license-plates"
method := "POST"
payload := &bytes.Buffer{}
writer := multipart.NewWriter(payload)
file, errFile1 := os.Open("/path/to/file")
defer file.Close()
part1,
errFile1 := writer.CreateFormFile("imageFile",filepath.Base("/path/to/file"))
_, errFile1 = io.Copy(part1, file)
if errFile1 != nil {
fmt.Println(errFile1)
return
}
err := writer.Close()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
client := &http.Client {
}
req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data")
req.Header.Add("Apikey", "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE")
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", writer.FormDataContentType())
res, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
defer res.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
fmt.Println(string(body))
}
