Summary

Recognize text and structure from a document by providing either a publicly accessible document URL or binary file data from a previous node, using a selected Base64.ai flow to process the document.

Inputs

  • Input Source (required) — Choose whether to provide the document as a URL or binary data from a previous node.
  • Document URL (required) — The public URL of the document to scan, required if Input Source is URL.
  • Binary Property (required) — The name of the binary property containing the document file data from a previous node, required if Input Source is Binary Data.
  • Flow — Select a Base64.ai flow by picking from a list or entering its ID to specify the AI processing flow applied to the document.
  • Simplify — Whether to return a simplified version of the recognition response instead of the raw data (only available in version 2).

Output shape

a list of recognition results, one per input item, each with detailed document analysis including fields, tables, faces, signatures, and stamps, or a simplified summary including counts and key metadata if Simplify is enabled.

Output is an array corresponding to each input item. The response includes full recognition data from the Base64.ai API. If Simplify is enabled (version 2), the response is transformed to a concise summary with key fields and counts.

Examples

Example 1: Recognize a document from a public URL using a specific flow.

Set Input Source to URL, provide Document URL, select the desired Flow from the list, and optionally enable Simplify.

Example 2: Recognize a document from binary data output by a previous node.

Set Input Source to Binary Data, specify the Binary Property name, select the desired Flow, and optionally enable Simplify.
