Overview
An API client for Amazon Textract. To construct a client, you need to configure a :region
and :credentials
.
textract = Aws::Textract::Client.new(
region: region_name,
credentials: credentials,
# ...
)
See #initialize for a full list of supported configuration options.
Region
You can configure a default region in the following locations:
ENV['AWS_REGION']
Aws.config[:region]
Go here for a list of supported regions.
Credentials
Default credentials are loaded automatically from the following locations:
ENV['AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID']
andENV['AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY']
Aws.config[:credentials]
- The shared credentials ini file at
~/.aws/credentials
(more information) - From an instance profile when running on EC2
You can also construct a credentials object from one of the following classes:
Alternatively, you configure credentials with :access_key_id
and
:secret_access_key
:
# load credentials from disk
creds = YAML.load(File.read('/path/to/secrets'))
Aws::Textract::Client.new(
access_key_id: creds['access_key_id'],
secret_access_key: creds['secret_access_key']
)
Always load your credentials from outside your application. Avoid configuring credentials statically and never commit them to source control.

Instance Method Details
#analyze_document(options = {}) ⇒ Types::AnalyzeDocumentResponse
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 KEYBlock
object and a VALUEBlock
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 CELLBlock
object is returned for each cell in a table. -
Lines and words of text. A LINE
Block
object contains one or more WORDBlock
objects. All lines and words that are detected in the document are returned (including text that doesn't have a relationship with the value ofFeatureTypes
).
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.
#detect_document_text(options = {}) ⇒ Types::DetectDocumentTextResponse
Detects text in the input document. Amazon Textract can detect lines of text and the words that make up a line of text. The input document must be an image in JPEG or PNG format. DetectDocumentText
returns the detected text in 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.
DetectDocumentText
is a synchronous operation. To analyze documents asynchronously, use StartDocumentTextDetection.
For more information, see Document Text Detection.
#get_document_analysis(options = {}) ⇒ Types::GetDocumentAnalysisResponse
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 KEYBlock
object and a VALUEBlock
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 CELLBlock
object is returned for each cell in a table. -
Lines and words of text. A LINE
Block
object contains one or more WORDBlock
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 theStartDocumentAnalysis
FeatureTypes
input parameter).
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
.

#start_document_analysis(options = {}) ⇒ Types::StartDocumentAnalysisResponse
Starts the asynchronous analysis of an input document for relationships between detected items such as key-value pairs, tables, and selection elements.
StartDocumentAnalysis
can analyze text in documents that are in JPEG, PNG, and PDF format. The documents are stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use DocumentLocation to specify the bucket name and file name of the document.
StartDocumentAnalysis
returns a job identifier (JobId
) that you use to get the results of the operation. When text analysis is finished, Amazon Textract publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic that you specify in NotificationChannel
. To get the results of the text analysis 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

#wait_until(waiter_name, params = {}) {|waiter| ... } ⇒ Boolean
Waiters polls an API operation until a resource enters a desired state.
Basic Usage
Waiters will poll until they are succesful, they fail by entering a terminal state, or until a maximum number of attempts are made.
# polls in a loop, sleeping between attempts client.waiter_until(waiter_name, params)
Configuration
You can configure the maximum number of polling attempts, and the delay (in seconds) between each polling attempt. You configure waiters by passing a block to #wait_until:
# poll for ~25 seconds
client.wait_until(...) do |w|
w.max_attempts = 5
w.delay = 5
end
Callbacks
You can be notified before each polling attempt and before each
delay. If you throw :success
or :failure
from these callbacks,
it will terminate the waiter.
started_at = Time.now
client.wait_until(...) do |w|
# disable max attempts
w.max_attempts = nil
# poll for 1 hour, instead of a number of attempts
w.before_wait do |attempts, response|
throw :failure if Time.now - started_at > 3600
end
end
Handling Errors
When a waiter is successful, it returns true
. When a waiter
fails, it raises an error. All errors raised extend from
Waiters::Errors::WaiterFailed.
begin
client.wait_until(...)
rescue Aws::Waiters::Errors::WaiterFailed
# resource did not enter the desired state in time
end
#waiter_names ⇒ Array<Symbol>
Returns the list of supported waiters. The following table lists the supported waiters and the client method they call:
Waiter Name | Client Method | Default Delay: | Default Max Attempts: |
---|
