DocumentUnderstandingServiceClient

DocumentUnderstandingServiceClient

Service to parse structured information from unstructured or semi-structured documents using state-of-the-art Google AI such as natural language, computer vision, and translation.

Constructor

new DocumentUnderstandingServiceClient(optionsopt, gaxInstanceopt)

Construct an instance of DocumentUnderstandingServiceClient.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
options object <optional>

The configuration object. The options accepted by the constructor are described in detail in this document. The common options are:

Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
credentials object <optional>

Credentials object.

Properties
Name Type Attributes Description
client_email string <optional>
private_key string <optional>
email string <optional>

Account email address. Required when using a .pem or .p12 keyFilename.

keyFilename string <optional>

Full path to the a .json, .pem, or .p12 key downloaded from the Google Developers Console. If you provide a path to a JSON file, the projectId option below is not necessary. NOTE: .pem and .p12 require you to specify options.email as well.

port number <optional>

The port on which to connect to the remote host.

projectId string <optional>

The project ID from the Google Developer's Console, e.g. 'grape-spaceship-123'. We will also check the environment variable GCLOUD_PROJECT for your project ID. If your app is running in an environment which supports Application Default Credentials, your project ID will be detected automatically.

apiEndpoint string <optional>

The domain name of the API remote host.

clientConfig gax.ClientConfig <optional>

Client configuration override. Follows the structure of gapicConfig.

fallback boolean <optional>

Use HTTP/1.1 REST mode. For more information, please check the documentation.

gaxInstance gax <optional>

loaded instance of google-gax. Useful if you need to avoid loading the default gRPC version and want to use the fallback HTTP implementation. Load only fallback version and pass it to the constructor: const gax = require('google-gax/build/src/fallback'); // avoids loading google-gax with gRPC const client = new DocumentUnderstandingServiceClient({fallback: true}, gax);

Methods

(async) checkBatchProcessDocumentsProgress(name) → {Promise}

Check the status of the long running operation returned by batchProcessDocuments().

Parameters:
Name Type Description
name String

The operation name that will be passed.

Returns:
Type Description
Promise
  • The promise which resolves to an object. The decoded operation object has result and metadata field to get information from. Please see the documentation for more details and examples.
Example
  /**
   * This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
   * It will require modifications to work.
   * It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
   * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
   */
  /**
   *  Required. Individual requests for each document.
   */
  // const requests = [1,2,3,4]
  /**
   *  Target project and location to make a call.
   *  Format: `projects/{project-id}/locations/{location-id}`.
   *  If no location is specified, a region will be chosen automatically.
   */
  // const parent = 'abc123'

  // Imports the Documentai library
  const {DocumentUnderstandingServiceClient} = require('@google-cloud/documentai').v1beta1;

  // Instantiates a client
  const documentaiClient = new DocumentUnderstandingServiceClient();

  async function callBatchProcessDocuments() {
    // Construct request
    const request = {
      requests,
    };

    // Run request
    const [operation] = await documentaiClient.batchProcessDocuments(request);
    const [response] = await operation.promise();
    console.log(response);
  }

  callBatchProcessDocuments();

close() → {Promise}

Terminate the gRPC channel and close the client.

The client will no longer be usable and all future behavior is undefined.

Returns:
Type Description
Promise

A promise that resolves when the client is closed.

getProjectId() → {Promise}

Return the project ID used by this class.

Returns:
Type Description
Promise

A promise that resolves to string containing the project ID.

initialize() → {Promise}

Initialize the client. Performs asynchronous operations (such as authentication) and prepares the client. This function will be called automatically when any class method is called for the first time, but if you need to initialize it before calling an actual method, feel free to call initialize() directly.

You can await on this method if you want to make sure the client is initialized.

Returns:
Type Description
Promise

A promise that resolves to an authenticated service stub.
