2022/04/19 - Amazon Textract - 5 updated api methods
Changes This release adds support for specifying and extracting information from documents using the Queries feature within Analyze Document API
{'FeatureTypes': {'QUERIES'},
'QueriesConfig': {'Queries': [{'Alias': 'string',
'Pages': ['string'],
'Text': 'string'}]}}
Response {'Blocks': {'BlockType': {'QUERY_RESULT', 'QUERY'},
'Query': {'Alias': 'string', 'Pages': ['string'], 'Text': 'string'},
'Relationships': {'Type': {'ANSWER'}}}}
Analyzes an input document for relationships between detected items.
The types of information returned are as follows:
Form data (key-value pairs). The related information is returned in two Block objects, each of type 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.
Table and table cell data. A TABLE Block object contains information about a detected table. A CELL Block object is returned for each cell in a table.
Lines and words of text. A LINE 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 FeatureTypes ).
Queries.A QUERIES_RESULT Block object contains the answer to the query, the alias associated and an ID that connect it to the query asked. This Block also contains a location and attached confidence score.
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.
You can choose which type of analysis to perform by specifying the FeatureTypes list.
The output is returned in a list of Block objects.
AnalyzeDocument is a synchronous operation. To analyze documents asynchronously, use StartDocumentAnalysis .
For more information, see Document Text Analysis .

Metadata about the analyzed document. An example is the number of pages.
Pages (integer) --
The number of pages that are detected in the document.
Blocks (list) --
The items that are detected and analyzed by AnalyzeDocument .
(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 .

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:
0 - The block has no child blocks.
1 - The block has child blocks.
(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.

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:
Form data (key-value pairs). The related information is returned in two Block objects, each of type 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.
Table and table cell data. A TABLE Block object contains information about a detected table. A CELL Block object is returned for each cell in a table.
Lines and words of text. A LINE 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).
Queries. A QUERIES_RESULT Block object contains the answer to the query, the alias associated and an ID that connect it to the query asked. This Block also contains a location and attached confidence score
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 .
For more information, see Document Text Analysis .

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 .

LINE - A string of tab-delimited, contiguous words that are detected on a document page.
In text analysis operations, the following types are returned:
PAGE - Contains a list of child Block objects that are detected on a document page.
KEY_VALUE_SET - Stores the KEY and VALUE 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.

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 .
