Bottle image in, fields out

Extract name and dose from a prescription bottle photo without building OCR pipelines from scratch.

Documented REST path

Bottle Scanner is part of the shared Cloud /v2/ surface with the same authentication model as other endpoints.

Review-friendly

Return structured values into your UI so staff can confirm before the data enters a clinical system of record.

Label data for pharmacy applications

Bottle images are common in intake, verification, and patient-facing capture flows. The Pill Bottle Analyzer API turns those images into structured name and dose values your software can act on.

Keep patient data and images on your side of the architecture. BuildLoop Cloud is the processing path; your application remains responsible for presentation, retention, and clinical process.

Complementary to tablet identification

Bottle analysis and tablet identification solve different capture problems. Use bottle scanning when the label is the source of truth in the moment; use Pill Identifier when you need imprint/image match candidates and a DrugID for drug details.

Frequently asked questions

What endpoint powers the Pill Bottle Analyzer?

POST /v2/bottle-scanner on api.buildloopcloud.com. See the Bottle Scanner documentation for request and response fields.

Does bottle analysis replace Pill Identifier?

No. It extracts label fields from a bottle image. Tablet identification and DrugID-based drug information are separate APIs you can combine in your workflow.

How do teams use bottle results in their product?

Map the returned name and dose into your intake or verification screens so staff can confirm before data lands in your system of record. Pair with Pill Identifier when you also need tablet matches and a DrugID.
