# Textract API

Home of the AWS Textract processor family

Our AWS Textract processor family brings the functionality of Amazon's flagship OCR API to your NiFi flow. They can analyze `.png`, `.jpg`/`.jpeg`and `.pdf` files, stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. 

Here is a list of the processors in the AWS Textract processor family:

* [AnalyzeDocument](/cloud-nifi-processors/amazon-web-services/textract-api/analyzedocument-processor.md)
* [DetectDocumentText](/cloud-nifi-processors/amazon-web-services/textract-api/detectdocumenttext-processor.md)

## Common Properties

Common properties are properties that are shared between all Textract processors This means every Textract processor will include these properties, plus whatever additional properties the individual processors add.

{% hint style="info" %}
Properties whose names are in ***bold and italics*** are required.
{% endhint %}

* ***`Textract Region`*** - A dropdown list of AWS regions. This is to be set to the region you've set for Textract
* ***`S3 Region`*** - A dropdown list of AWS regions. This is to be set to the region of the S3 bucket(s) you will be pulling documents from for analysis
* ***`Bucket`*** - An expression-language supporting input that holds the S3 bucket of the file to be analyzed.
* ***`Object Key`*** - An expression-language supporting input that holds the name of the S3 object to be analyzed
* ***`Destination`*** - A dropdown input that determines what part of the outgoing FlowFile will contain the output information. The value can be set to one of the following:
  * `flowfile-body`: the data will be put to the FlowFile body. Additionally, the FlowFile's mime.type property will be set to application/json
  * `flowfile-attribute`: the data will be put to an attribute, whose name depends on the processor. This name is listed on the processor's documentation page.
* ***`Communications Timeout`*** - how long before the processor routes a FlowFile to failure due to lack of API response
* **`AWS Credentials Provider Service`** - A reusable provider controller service that stores AWS credentials. If this is not set, you will need to put in whatever relevant credentials information manually into their respective properties.
* **`Access Key ID`** - The secret access key ID of an AWS credential
* **`Secret Access Key`** - The body of an AWS credential's secret access key
* **`Credentials File`** - The path to a properties file (on your instance) containing an AWS access key and secret key
