GetDocumentTextDetection

Gets the results for an Amazon Textract asynchronous operation that detects text in a document. Amazon Textract can detect lines of text and the words that make up a line of text.

You start asynchronous text detection by calling StartDocumentTextDetection, which returns a job identifier (JobId). When the text detection operation finishes, Amazon Textract publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic that's registered in the initial call to StartDocumentTextDetection. To get the results of the text-detection operation, first check that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED. If so, call GetDocumentTextDetection, and pass the job identifier (JobId) from the initial call to StartDocumentTextDetection.

GetDocumentTextDetection returns an array of Block objects.

Each document page has as an associated Block of type PAGE. Each PAGE Block object is the parent of LINE Block objects that represent the lines of detected text on a page. A LINE Block object is a parent for each word that makes up the line. Words are represented by Block objects of type WORD.

Use the MaxResults parameter to limit the number of blocks that are returned. If there are more results than specified in MaxResults, the value of NextToken in the operation response contains a pagination token for getting the next set of results. To get the next page of results, call GetDocumentTextDetection, and populate the NextToken request parameter with the token value that's returned from the previous call to GetDocumentTextDetection.

For more information, see Document Text Detection.

   "NextToken": "string"
}

Request Parameters

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

JobId

A unique identifier for the text detection job. The JobId is returned from StartDocumentTextDetection. A JobId value is only valid for 7 days.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+$

Required: Yes

MaxResults

The maximum number of results to return per paginated call. The largest value you can specify is 1,000. If you specify a value greater than 1,000, a maximum of 1,000 results is returned. The default value is 1,000.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1.

Required: No

NextToken

If the previous response was incomplete (because there are more blocks to retrieve), Amazon Textract returns a pagination token in the response. You can use this pagination token to retrieve the next set of blocks.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: .*\S.*

Required: No

Type: DocumentMetadata object

JobStatus

The current status of the text detection job.

Type: String

Valid Values: IN_PROGRESS | SUCCEEDED | FAILED | PARTIAL_SUCCESS

NextToken

If the response is truncated, Amazon Textract returns this token. You can use this token in the subsequent request to retrieve the next set of text-detection results.

Type: String
