API calls

Similarly to processing documents using Document Understanding or Intelligent OCR activities, you can process documents using APIs, by following four main phases: digitization, classification, extraction, and validation.

When you want to use APIs to create document understanding automations, follow the steps below:

1. Digitize documents. Visit the Digitization APIs to check the APIs available for digitizing.
2. Classify documents. Visit the Classification Service to learn how to use the classification service.
3. Validate the classification results. Visit Validation of a Classification Result for more information.
4. Extract documents using the Extraction Service. Visit the Extraction Service to learn how to use the extraction service.
5. Validate the extraction information. Visit Validation of an Extraction Result to learn how to validate parts of the documents you extracted.

Known limitations

We are aware of the following limitations that Document Understanding^TM API calls have:

• They require programming experience.
• They don't provide access to other platform capabilities.
