# DeepSeek-OCR-2 Table Structure Recognition API

High-accuracy OCR and table structure recognition using DeepSeek-OCR-2 (3B parameters).

## Features

- 📊 **Table Detection & Recognition**: Extract complex table structures
- 📦 **Cell-Level Bounding Boxes**: Precise coordinates for all cells
- 📋 **Header Detection**: Automatic header identification
- 🔗 **Merged Cells**: Rowspan/colspan support
- 🎯 **High Accuracy**: State-of-the-art performance

## API Usage

### Python Client

```python
import requests
import base64

# Load and encode image
with open("document.png", "rb") as f:
    image_b64 = base64.b64encode(f.read()).decode()

# Call API
response = requests.post(
    "https://your-username-space-name.hf.space/api/predict",
    json={"data": [image_b64]},
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {YOUR_HF_TOKEN}"}
)

result = response.json()
print(result)
```

### cURL

```bash
curl -X POST https://your-username-space-name.hf.space/api/predict \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_HF_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"data": ["base64_encoded_image"]}'
```

## Response Format

```json
