get_document_analysis
(**kwargs)¶Gets the results for an Amazon Textract asynchronous operation that analyzes text in a document.
You start asynchronous text analysis by calling StartDocumentAnalysis, which returns a job identifier ( JobId
). When the text analysis 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 StartDocumentAnalysis
. 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 GetDocumentAnalysis
, and pass the job identifier ( JobId
) from the initial call to StartDocumentAnalysis
.
GetDocumentAnalysis
returns an array of Block objects. The following types of information are returned:
KEY_VALUE_SET
: a KEY Block
object and a VALUE Block
object. For example, Name: Ana Silva Carolina contains a key and value. Name: is the key. Ana Silva Carolina is the value.Block
object contains information about a detected table. A CELL Block
object is returned for each cell in a table.Block
object contains one or more WORD Block
objects. All lines and words that are detected in the document are returned (including text that doesn't have a relationship with the value of the StartDocumentAnalysis
FeatureTypes
input parameter).Note
While processing a document with queries, look out for INVALID_REQUEST_PARAMETERS
output. This indicates that either the per page query limit has been exceeded or that the operation is trying to query a page in the document which doesn’t exist.
Selection elements such as check boxes and option buttons (radio buttons) can be detected in form data and in tables. A SELECTION_ELEMENT Block
object contains information about a selection element, including the selection status.
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 GetDocumentAnalysis
, and populate the NextToken
request parameter with the token value that's returned from the previous call to GetDocumentAnalysis
.

Response Structure
(dict) --
DocumentMetadata (dict) --
Information about a document that Amazon Textract processed. DocumentMetadata
is returned in every page of paginated responses from an Amazon Textract video operation.
Pages (integer) --
The number of pages that are detected in the document.
JobStatus (string) --
The current status of the text detection job.
NextToken (string) --
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.
Blocks (list) --
The results of the text-analysis operation.
(dict) --
A Block
represents items that are recognized in a document within a group of pixels close to each other. The information returned in a Block
object depends on the type of operation. In text detection for documents (for example DetectDocumentText ), you get information about the detected words and lines of text. In text analysis (for example AnalyzeDocument ), you can also get information about the fields, tables, and selection elements that are detected in the document.
An array of Block
objects is returned by both synchronous and asynchronous operations. In synchronous operations, such as DetectDocumentText, the array of Block
objects is the entire set of results. In asynchronous operations, such as GetDocumentAnalysis, the array is returned over one or more responses.
For more information, see How Amazon Textract Works.
BlockType (string) --
The type of text item that's recognized. In operations for text detection, the following types are returned:
Block
objects that are detected on a document page.In text analysis operations, the following types are returned:
Block
objects that are detected on a document page.Block
objects for linked text that's detected on a document page. Use the EntityType
field to determine if a KEY_VALUE_SET object is a KEY Block
object or a VALUE Block
object.SelectionStatus
to determine the status of the selection element.Confidence (float) --
The confidence score that Amazon Textract has in the accuracy of the recognized text and the accuracy of the geometry points around the recognized text.
Text (string) --
The word or line of text that's recognized by Amazon Textract.
TextType (string) --
The kind of text that Amazon Textract has detected. Can check for handwritten text and printed text.
RowIndex (integer) --
The row in which a table cell is located. The first row position is 1. RowIndex
isn't returned by DetectDocumentText
and GetDocumentTextDetection
.
ColumnIndex (integer) --
The column in which a table cell appears. The first column position is 1. ColumnIndex
isn't returned by DetectDocumentText
and GetDocumentTextDetection
.
RowSpan (integer) --
The number of rows that a table cell spans. Currently this value is always 1, even if the number of rows spanned is greater than 1. RowSpan
isn't returned by DetectDocumentText
and GetDocumentTextDetection
.
ColumnSpan (integer) --
The number of columns that a table cell spans. Currently this value is always 1, even if the number of columns spanned is greater than 1. ColumnSpan
isn't returned by DetectDocumentText
and GetDocumentTextDetection
.
Geometry (dict) --
The location of the recognized text on the image. It includes an axis-aligned, coarse bounding box that surrounds the text, and a finer-grain polygon for more accurate spatial information.
BoundingBox (dict) --
An axis-aligned coarse representation of the location of the recognized item on the document page.
Width (float) --
The width of the bounding box as a ratio of the overall document page width.
Height (float) --
The height of the bounding box as a ratio of the overall document page height.
Left (float) --
The left coordinate of the bounding box as a ratio of overall document page width.
Top (float) --
The top coordinate of the bounding box as a ratio of overall document page height.
Polygon (list) --
Within the bounding box, a fine-grained polygon around the recognized item.
(dict) --
The X and Y coordinates of a point on a document page. The X and Y values that are returned are ratios of the overall document page size. For example, if the input document is 700 x 200 and the operation returns X=0.5 and Y=0.25, then the point is at the (350,50) pixel coordinate on the document page.
An array of Point
objects, Polygon
, is returned by DetectDocumentText. Polygon
represents a fine-grained polygon around detected text. For more information, see Geometry in the Amazon Textract Developer Guide.
X (float) --
The value of the X coordinate for a point on a Polygon
.
Y (float) --
The value of the Y coordinate for a point on a Polygon
.
Id (string) --
The identifier for the recognized text. The identifier is only unique for a single operation.
Relationships (list) --
A list of child blocks of the current block. For example, a LINE object has child blocks for each WORD block that's part of the line of text. There aren't Relationship objects in the list for relationships that don't exist, such as when the current block has no child blocks. The list size can be the following:
(dict) --
Information about how blocks are related to each other. A Block
object contains 0 or more Relation
objects in a list, Relationships
. For more information, see Block.
The Type
element provides the type of the relationship for all blocks in the IDs
array.
Type (string) --
The type of relationship that the blocks in the IDs array have with the current block. The relationship can be VALUE
or CHILD
. A relationship of type VALUE is a list that contains the ID of the VALUE block that's associated with the KEY of a key-value pair. A relationship of type CHILD is a list of IDs that identify WORD blocks in the case of lines Cell blocks in the case of Tables, and WORD blocks in the case of Selection Elements.
Ids (list) --
An array of IDs for related blocks. You can get the type of the relationship from the Type
element.
EntityTypes (list) --
The type of entity. The following can be returned:
EntityTypes
isn't returned byDetectDocumentText
andGetDocumentTextDetection
.
SelectionStatus (string) --
The selection status of a selection element, such as an option button or check box.
Page (integer) --
The page on which a block was detected. Page
is returned by synchronous and asynchronous operations. Page values greater than 1 are only returned for multipage documents that are in PDF or TIFF format. A scanned image (JPEG/PNG) provided to an asynchronous operation, even if it contains multiple document pages, is considered a single-page document. This means that for scanned images the value of Page
is always 1. Synchronous operations operations will also return a Page
value of 1 because every input document is considered to be a single-page document.
Query (dict) --
Text (string) --
Question that Amazon Textract will apply to the document. An example would be "What is the customer's SSN?"
Alias (string) --
Alias attached to the query, for ease of location.
Pages (list) --
Pages is a parameter that the user inputs to specify which pages to apply a query to. The following is a list of rules for using this parameter.
["1"]

A warning about an issue that occurred during asynchronous text analysis ( StartDocumentAnalysis ) or asynchronous document text detection ( StartDocumentTextDetection ).
ErrorCode (string) --
The error code for the warning.
Pages (list) --
A list of the pages that the warning applies to.
