How Do I Purchase an API That Best Suits My Needs?

OCR provides two types of APIs: general APIs and certificate APIs. For details, see API Overview.

For details about the pricing, see Price Calculator. For details about billing rules, see Billing.

  • Note that when subscribing to an API, it is important to log in to the console using the appropriate account/IAM user, purchase the required API, select the appropriate endpoint and billing mode, so that you can use the same account to access the purchased endpoint and use the API with the selected billing mode.

How to Buy

  • Pay-per-use
    • OCR is billed on a pay-per-use basis by default.
    • To top up your account, log in to the Huawei Cloud console and choose Billing & Costs.
    • Top up your account in advance to prevent service impact caused by arrears.
