AWS Textract tagging

Question

We use a custom tag (cost-center) to better understand our AWS expenses.  Is there a way to add a tag to a textract detect_document_text() call?  The AWS Cost Explorer included Textract as a service but the only mention of tagging in the textract documentation relates to adapters, which we are not using.

Answer

you cannot directly add tags to a Textract detect_document_text() call. The detect_document_text() API call is focused on the core function of text extraction. It doesn't include parameters for resource tagging. As an alternative way Extract the cost-center information from the document during text extraction. Store the cost-center data as custom metadata along with the extracted text from detect_document_text(). You can utilize databases like DynamoDB or add this metadata within the storage mechanism you're using.
