Form Recognizer - multiple documents / document name in response

Question

Form Recognizer - multiple documents / document name in response

Eric 6

Hello,

For Form Recognizer API, are you able to process more than one file in one Post request? Additionally, I do not see anywhere in the response the name of the document or url processed. The only way to tie the actual document processed is to bundle the Post and Get. Wondering if there's something I'm missing on that.

edit: I'm using the Prebuilt-Document model..

May I know which API you are mentioning?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I'm using the Azure Form Recognizer API version 2022-06-30-preview: https://westus.dev.cognitive.microsoft.com/docs/services/form-recognizer-api-2022-06-30-preview/operations/AnalyzeDocument

Specifically, I'm calling the prebuilt-document model. The schema doesn't hint at multiple documents, but I'm just trying to confirm as if we want to process something in batches it's quite cumbersome running one by one.

My use case is using data factory to fetch pdf files from data lake, then use ForEach to call Forms Recognizer API for each one recursively. I had to create a functions app to call the API so I could save the URL / document name and assign it to the actual GET response returned, as I do not see anywhere in the json response where it mentions which actual document it processed.

apologies, just noticed I commented under a different account.
