Document → Recognize Document Async

AI-generated

Summary

Start an asynchronous document recognition job by submitting a document to Base64.ai using either a public URL or binary data from a previous node, specifying a Base64.ai flow to apply.

Inputs

  • Input Source (required) — Choose whether to provide the document as a publicly accessible URL or as binary data from a previous node.
  • Document URL (required) — Provide the public URL of the document to scan (required if Input Source is URL).
  • Binary Property (required) — Specify the name of the binary property containing the file data from a previous node (required if Input Source is Binary Data).
  • Flow — Select or enter the Base64.ai flow to apply to the document, either from a searchable list or by ID (version 2).
  • Simplify — Optionally return a simplified version of the response instead of the raw data (available in version 2).

Output shape

a single JSON object representing the asynchronous job initiation response from Base64.ai, including at least a job UUID to track processing status

The response may contain the raw or simplified document recognition job initiation data depending on the Simplify option. Use the returned UUID with the 'Get Async Scan Result' operation to poll for completion and fetch results.

Examples

Example 1: Submit a PDF document at https://example\.com/document\.pdf for asynchronous recognition applying a selected flow, receiving a job UUID to check processing status later.

Set Input Source to 'URL', provide the document URL, pick a flow from the list or enter an ID, optionally enable Simplify to get a concise response.
