It simplifies calling Textract APIs and parsing responses for text recognition, table extraction, form processing, identity document analysis, and receipt/expense processing. The package handles both single documents and batch workflows, supports multiple input formats (images, PDFs, S3 paths, bytes), and provides a fluent interface for accessing extracted data.\n\nThe core library is minimal and lambda-friendly by default, with optional extras for pandas DataFrames, PDF rasterization (via pypdfium2 or pdf2image), and machine-learning-based word search (via sentence_transformers). It depends on Pillow for image handling, XlsxWriter for table export, amazon-textract-caller for API calls, rapidfuzz for fuzzy matching, and tabulate for formatted output. Requires Python 3.10 or later and active AWS credentials.","worth_installing":"Yes. Textractor is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is permissively licensed. It is the standard Python interface to Textract and well-suited for document extraction workflows. The main consideration is AWS account setup and API costs\u2014not a blocker for most use cases, but verify your budget and credential configuration before deploying."},"id":"amazon-textract-textractor","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/amazon-textract-textractor","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/amazon-textract-textractor.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/amazon-textract-textractor/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"amazon-textract-textractor","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A package to use AWS Textract services."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":843823,"position":4924,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.10.0"}
