Node.js Check Tutorial

// Simple script to make and process the results of an ExtractCheck request to the LEADTOOLS CloudServices.
// In order to run this script, the following changes will need to be added:
//	1) Place your Application ID in the user portion of the getRequestOptions method.
//	2) Place your Application Password in the password portion of the getRequestOptions method.
//
// The script will perform the following operations in order:
//	1)Perform an ExtractCheck request to the LEADTOOLS CloudServices.  A successfully made request will return a unique identifier.
//	2)We will then query the services using the GUID -- if the file is finished processing, the body will contain all the
//	  request data.
//	3)We will take the json data that was returned, parse it, and display all the information that was returned.
//
// This script makes use of the following NodeJS libraries:
//  1) Request - More information about this library can be found here: https://github.com/request/request
//  2) File System - More information about this library can be found here: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

const request = require('request');

//If uploading a file as multi-part content, we will need the file-system library installed.
//const fs = require('fs');

var servicesUrl = "https://azure.leadtools.com/api/";

//The first page in the file to mark for processing
var firstPage = 1;

//Sending a value of -1 will indicate to the services that the rest of the pages in the file should be processed.
var lastPage = -1;

//We will be uploading the file via a URl.  Files can also be passed by adding a PostFile to the request.  Only 1 file will be accepted per request.
//The services will use the following priority when determining what a request is trying to do GUID > URL > Request Body Content
var fileURL = 'http://demo.leadtools.com/JavaScript/BankCheckReader/Resources/Samples/BankCheck.jpg';
var recognitionUrl = servicesUrl + 'Recognition/ExtractCheck?firstPage=' + firstPage + '&lastPage=' + lastPage + '&fileurl=' + fileURL;
request.post(getRequestOptions(recognitionUrl), recognitionCallback);

//If uploading a file as multi-part content:
//var recognitionUrl = servicesUrl + 'Recognition/ExtractCheck?firstPage=' + firstPage + '&lastPage=' + lastPage;
//var req = request.post(getRequestOptions(recognitionUrl), recognitionCallback);
//var form = req.form();
//form.append('file', fs.createReadStream('path\to\inputFile'));


function recognitionCallback(error, response, body) {
	if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
		var guid = body;
		console.log("Unique ID returned by the Services: " + guid);
		queryServices(guid);
	}
}

function queryServices(guid) {
	//Function to query the status of a request.  If the request has not yet finished, this function will recursively call itself until the file has finished.
	var queryUrl = servicesUrl + "Query?id=" + guid;
	request.post(getRequestOptions(queryUrl), async function (error, response, body) {
		var results = JSON.parse(body);
		if (!error && (results['FileStatus'] !== 100 && results['FileStatus'] !== 123)) {

			console.log("File finished processing with return code: " + response.statusCode);
			console.log(results['FileStatus']);
			if (results['FileStatus'] !== 200) {
				return;
			}
			console.log("Results: \n");
			parseJson(results['RequestData']);
		} else {
			//The file has not yet finished processing.
			await function () {
				return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000)); //Sleep for 5 seconds before trying again
			};
			queryServices(guid); //Call the method again.
		}
	});
}

function parseJson(jsonObject) {
	//Function to decode the JSON object that was returned by the LEADTOOLS CloudServices.
	for (let i = 0; i < jsonObject.length; i++) {
		var currentRequest = jsonObject[i];

				var currentMicrResult = data[k];
