Azure Document Intelligence REST SDK for TypeScript

Extract text, tables, and structured data from documents using prebuilt and custom models.

Installation

npm install @azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence @azure/identity

Environment Variables

DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.cognitiveservices.azure.com
DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY=<api-key>

Authentication

Important: This is a REST client. DocumentIntelligence is a function, not a class.

DefaultAzureCredential

import DocumentIntelligence from "@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence";
import { DefaultAzureCredential } from "@azure/identity";

const client = DocumentIntelligence(
  process.env.DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_ENDPOINT!,
  new DefaultAzureCredential()
);

API Key

import DocumentIntelligence from "@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence";

const client = DocumentIntelligence(
  process.env.DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_ENDPOINT!,
  { key: process.env.DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY! }
);

Analyze Document (URL)

import DocumentIntelligence, {
  isUnexpected,
  getLongRunningPoller,
  AnalyzeOperationOutput
} from "@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence";

const initialResponse = await client
  .path("/documentModels/{modelId}:analyze", "prebuilt-layout")
  .post({
    contentType: "application/json",
    body: {
      urlSource: "https://example.com/document.pdf"
    },
    queryParameters: { locale: "en-US" }
  });

if (isUnexpected(initialResponse)) {
  throw initialResponse.body.error;
}

const poller = getLongRunningPoller(client, initialResponse);
const result = (await poller.pollUntilDone()).body as AnalyzeOperationOutput;

console.log("Pages:", result.analyzeResult?.pages?.length);
console.log("Tables:", result.analyzeResult?.tables?.length);

Analyze Document (Local File)

import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises";

const fileBuffer = await readFile("./document.pdf");
const base64Source = fileBuffer.toString("base64");

const initialResponse = await client
  .path("/documentModels/{modelId}:analyze", "prebuilt-invoice")
  .post({
    contentType: "application/json",
    body: { base64Source }
  });

if (isUnexpected(initialResponse)) {
  throw initialResponse.body.error;
}

const poller = getLongRunningPoller(client, initialResponse);
const result = (await poller.pollUntilDone()).body as AnalyzeOperationOutput;

  });

if (isUnexpected(initialResponse)) {
  throw initialResponse.body.error;
}

const poller = getLongRunningPoller(client, initialResponse);
const result = (await poller.pollUntilDone()).body as AnalyzeOperationOutput;

const invoice = result.analyzeResult?.documents?.[0];
if (invoice) {
  console.log("Vendor:", invoice.fields?.VendorName?.content);
  console.log("Total:", invoice.fields?.InvoiceTotal?.content);
  console.log("Due Date:", invoice.fields?.DueDate?.content);
}

const receipt = result.analyzeResult?.documents?.[0];
if (receipt) {
  console.log("Merchant:", receipt.fields?.MerchantName?.content);
  console.log("Total:", receipt.fields?.Total?.content);
  
  for (const item of receipt.fields?.Items?.values || []) {
    console.log("Item:", item.properties?.Description?.content);
    console.log("Price:", item.properties?.TotalPrice?.content);
  }
}

List Document Models

import DocumentIntelligence, { isUnexpected, paginate } from "@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence";

const response = await client.path("/documentModels").get();

if (isUnexpected(response)) {
  throw response.body.error;
}

for await (const model of paginate(client, response)) {
  console.log(model.modelId);
}

const initialResponse = await client.path("/documentModels:build").post({
  body: {
    modelId: "my-custom-model",
    description: "Custom model for purchase orders",
    buildMode: "template",  // or "neural"
    azureBlobSource: {
      containerUrl: process.env.TRAINING_CONTAINER_SAS_URL!,
      prefix: "training-data/"
    }
  }
});

if (isUnexpected(initialResponse)) {
  throw initialResponse.body.error;
}

const poller = getLongRunningPoller(client, initialResponse);
const result = await poller.pollUntilDone();
console.log("Model built:", result.body);

Build Document Classifier

import { DocumentClassifierBuildOperationDetailsOutput } from "@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence";

const containerSasUrl = process.env.TRAINING_CONTAINER_SAS_URL!;

const initialResponse = await client.path("/documentClassifiers:build").post({
  body: {
    classifierId: "my-classifier",
    description: "Invoice vs Receipt classifier",
    docTypes: {
      invoices: {
        azureBlobSource: { containerUrl: containerSasUrl, prefix: "invoices/" }
      },
      receipts: {
        azureBlobSource: { containerUrl: containerSasUrl, prefix: "receipts/" }
      }
    }
  }
});

if (isUnexpected(initialResponse)) {
  throw initialResponse.body.error;
}

const poller = getLongRunningPoller(client, initialResponse);
const result = (await poller.pollUntilDone()).body as DocumentClassifierBuildOperationDetailsOutput;
console.log("Classifier:", result.result?.classifierId);

Classify Document

const initialResponse = await client
  .path("/documentClassifiers/{classifierId}:analyze", "my-classifier")
  .post({
    contentType: "application/json",
    body: { urlSource: documentUrl },
    queryParameters: { split: "auto" }
  });

if (isUnexpected(initialResponse)) {
  throw initialResponse.body.error;
}

const poller = getLongRunningPoller(client, initialResponse);
const result = await poller.pollUntilDone();
console.log("Classification:", result.body.analyzeResult?.documents);

Get Service Info

const response = await client.path("/info").get();

if (isUnexpected(response)) {
  throw response.body.error;
}

console.log("Custom model limit:", response.body.customDocumentModels.limit);
console.log("Custom model count:", response.body.customDocumentModels.count);

Polling Pattern

import DocumentIntelligence, {
  isUnexpected,
  getLongRunningPoller,
  AnalyzeOperationOutput
} from "@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence";

// 1. Start operation
const initialResponse = await client
  .path("/documentModels/{modelId}:analyze", "prebuilt-layout")
  .post({ contentType: "application/json", body: { urlSource } });

// 2. Check for errors
if (isUnexpected(initialResponse)) {
  throw initialResponse.body.error;
}

// 3. Create poller
const poller = getLongRunningPoller(client, initialResponse);

// 4. Optional: Monitor progress
poller.onProgress((state) => {
  console.log("Status:", state.status);
});

// 5. Wait for completion
const result = (await poller.pollUntilDone()).body as AnalyzeOperationOutput;

Key Types

import DocumentIntelligence, {
  isUnexpected,
  getLongRunningPoller,
  paginate,
  parseResultIdFromResponse,
  AnalyzeOperationOutput,
  DocumentClassifierBuildOperationDetailsOutput
} from "@azure-rest/ai-document-intelligence";

Best Practices

Use getLongRunningPoller() - Document analysis is async, always poll for results
Check isUnexpected() - Type guard for proper error handling
Choose the right model - Use prebuilt models when possible, custom for specialized docs
Handle confidence scores - Fields have confidence values, set thresholds for your use case
Use pagination - Use paginate() helper for listing models
Prefer neural mode - For custom models, neural handles more variation than template

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to do anything with PDF files. This includes reading or extracting text/tables from PDFs, combining or merging multiple PDFs into one, splitting PDFs apart, rotating pages, adding watermarks, creating new PDFs, filling PDF forms, encrypting/decrypting PDFs, extracting images, and OCR on scanned PDFs to make them searchable. If the user mentions a .pdf file or asks to produce one, use this skill.

Use this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx files). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, headings, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, performing find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file, use this skill. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or general coding tasks unrelated to document generation.

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions \"deck,\" \"slides,\" \"presentation,\" or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.

Create and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and other Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when working with .md files in Obsidian, or when the user mentions wikilinks, callouts, frontmatter, tags, embeds, or Obsidian notes.
