It abstracts away the complexity of choosing between synchronous and asynchronous APIs, handling file uploads to S3, and managing job polling. The package accepts documents from local filesystems or S3 buckets and returns structured JSON responses containing extracted text, tables, forms, and other document elements.\n\nThe wrapper supports Textract features like table detection, document queries, and custom adapters for specialized document types. It integrates with boto3 and botocore for AWS authentication and works alongside amazon-textract-response-parser for post-processing results. Most use cases involve a single call with a document path and optional feature flags, making it practical for rapid prototyping and production document-processing pipelines.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and solves a real friction point in Textract integration. It is well-suited for teams already using AWS and needing to extract text or structured data from documents. No security vulnerabilities are known. Install if you are building document-processing workflows on AWS; skip if you do not use Textract or prefer direct boto3 calls."},"id":"amazon-textract-caller","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/amazon-textract-caller","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/amazon-textract-caller.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/amazon-textract-caller/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-06-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"amazon-textract-caller","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Amazon Textract Caller tools"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":911695,"position":4743,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.4"}
