The system is able to extract all information found on old or new types of Vietnamese ID card (the identification information on the back is only returned if required). The system divides the results into 4 categories:

• old Vietnamese ID card front side
• old Vietnamese ID card back side
• new Vietnamese ID card front side.
• new Vietnamese ID card back side.

After successfully sending the request, the system will return a json file that includes text information on the Vietnamese ID card using the format below.

• errorCode: value is 0 if the request was successful with no error occurred
• errorMessage: value is equal to empty string if the request was successful with no error occurred
• data: include all information on the Vietnamese ID card image if the request succeeds without errors, return empty list [] if an error occurs (All fields that the system can not extract, will have value "N/A"). Also included with the information extracted is the probability that indicates the reliability of the returned results.

(The detail of the errors that might occure include both errorCode and errorMessage is described on Errors)
