How to save the google vision API response to a handable file

Question

I am trying to extract all the information that the google cloud vision OCR API offers to me from some tickets. I can save the text in a .txt but the rest of the response response = client.text_detection(image=image) I don't know how to save it.

Thanks

Answer 1

I followed this tutorial Quickstart: Using client libraries.

Then, assuming that you got the response, you can save it to a file using this code:

text_file = open("sample.txt", "w")
text_file.write(str(response))
text_file.close()

Finally I tested on console:

cat sample.txt
