# Azure Document Intelligence REST SDK for TypeScript

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

## Installation

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

## Environment Variables

```bash
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

```typescript
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

```typescript
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)

```typescript
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)

```typescript
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;
```

## Prebuilt Models

| Model ID | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `prebuilt-read` | OCR - text and language extraction |
| `prebuilt-layout` | Text, tables, selection marks, structure |
| `prebuilt-invoice` | Invoice fields |
| `prebuilt-receipt` | Receipt fields |
| `prebuilt-idDocument` | ID document fields |
| `prebuilt-tax.us.w2` | W-2 tax form fields |
| `prebuilt-healthInsuranceCard.us` | Health insurance card fields |
| `prebuilt-contract` | Contract fields |
| `prebuilt-bankStatement.us` | Bank statement fields |

## Extract Invoice Fields

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

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);
}
```

## Extract Receipt Fields

```typescript
const initialResponse = await client
  .path("/documentModels/{modelId}:analyze", "prebuilt-receipt")
  .post({
    contentType: "application/json",
    body: { urlSource: receiptUrl }
  });

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

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

```typescript
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);
}
```

## Build Custom Model

```typescript
const initialResponse = await client.path("/documentModels:build").post({
  body: {
    modelId: "my-custom-model",
    desc
