Hi everyone, I'm currently working with textract and I'm not sure where to retrieve my "textract client" which I'm asked for in the python script. Is it the same as my IAM profile, or is it the...

Hi Martina,

In the context of Amazon Textract & 'boto3', a Textract client or boto3 client is basically an object that lets you to interact with Amazon Textract service ( you can think of it as an interface to the Textract API, helping you make requests and receive responses from the service)

If you are using Boto3 ( which is an AWS SDK for Python), these are the steps you would follow:

1. Create a textract client object: textract_client = boto3.client('textract',region_name=<region_name>)
2. Call the respective Textract API, For eg response = textract_client.analyse_document(Document= {'Bytes': <document_bytes>},FeatureTypes =['TABLES','FORMS]}

You can refer to the following links for further information: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/textract.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/code-library/latest/ug/python_3_textract_code_examples.html
