Form Recognizer API (v2.0)

Form Recognizer extracts information from forms and images into structured data. It includes the following options:

  • Form - Extracts information from forms (PDFs and images) into structured data based on a model created from a set of representative training forms. Form Recognizer learns the structure of your forms to intelligently extract text and data. It ingests text from forms, applies machine learning technology to identify keys, tables, and fields, and then outputs structured data that includes the relationships within the original file.
  • Receipt - Detects and extracts data from receipts using optical character recognition (OCR) and our receipt model, enabling you to easily extract structured data from receipts such as merchant name, merchant phone number, transaction date, transaction total, and more.
  • Layout - Extracts text and table structure from documents using optical character recognition (OCR).

Request body

Response 200

JSON fields in the response body:

Field Type Description
status String Copy Custom Model operation status. Possible values:
  • notStarted: The model copy operation has not started.
  • running: The model copy operation is in progress.
  • failed: The model copy operation has failed.
  • succeeded: The model operation has succeeded.
If the status is succeeded, the response JSON will include the copy result detail. The copy result contains information about the model information in the target form recognizer subscription.
createdDateTime String Date and time (UTC) when the operation was created.
lastUpdatedDateTime String Date and time (UTC) when the status is last updated.
copyResult Object Results of the copy operation.
modelId string Model identifier of the model in the target form recognizer subscription.
errors [Object] List of errors reported during the analyze operation.
