Data In order to manipulate any files, you first need to upload them to the Aspose cloud storage or 3rd party cloud storage using Aspose.Storage Cloud SDK for Node.js. Quick SDK Tutorial

var fs = require('fs');
var assert = require('assert');
var StorageApi =require("asposestoragecloud")
var OcrApi = require("asposeocrcloud");

var AppSID = 'XXX'; //sepcify App SID
var AppKey = 'XXX'; //sepcify App Key
var config = {'appSid':AppSID,'apiKey':AppKey};
var data_path = '../data/';

try {
//Instantiate Aspose.Storage API SDK
var storageApi = new StorageApi(config);

//Instantiate Aspose.OCR API SDK
var ocrApi = new OcrApi(config);

//set input file name
var name =  "Sampleocr.bmp";
var storage = null;
var folder = null;

//upload file to aspose cloud storage
storageApi.PutCreate(name, null, null, data_path + name , function(responseMessage) {
	assert.equal(responseMessage.status, 'OK');
	//invoke Aspose.OCR Cloud SDK API to extract text and partsinfo from an image
	ocrApi.GetRecognizeDocument(name, null, null, null, null, null, null, storage, folder, function(responseMessage) {
			assert.equal(responseMessage.status, 'OK');		
			console.log("Text :: " + responseMessage.body.Text);
