It provides a client to submit documents for analysis using either prebuilt models (for receipts, invoices, business cards, ID documents, W-2 forms, and other common types) or custom models you train on your own data. The service extracts layout, text, key-value pairs, tables, barcodes, QR codes, formulas, and font/style information depending on the model and add-on capabilities you enable.\n\nThe package wraps the Azure REST API and handles authentication (API key or Azure Active Directory), request marshaling, and response parsing. It depends on azure-core for common Azure SDK patterns and isodate for date handling. The library supports both synchronous and asynchronous operations, though async requires aiohttp to be installed separately. It is actively maintained, production-stable, and widely used in the top 5000 PyPI packages by download volume.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a production-stable, actively maintained official Azure SDK with low install friction, permissive licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and a clear use case for anyone building document analysis into an Azure-backed application. Install it if you need to integrate Document Intelligence into a Python project; skip it if you don't use Azure or need a different document processing backend."},"id":"azure-ai-documentintelligence","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-ai-documentintelligence","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-ai-documentintelligence.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-ai-documentintelligence/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-ai-documentintelligence","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Azure AI Document Intelligence Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":10073052,"position":1486,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.2"}
