Document Understanding API guide

Running API Calls

Here's a practical example on how to successfully run a document classification, extraction and validate the data while using solely API Calls.

Begin by:

  • Creating an External Application.
  • Creating a Document UnderstandingTM project.
  • Authorizing the newly created external application.
    Note:

    In the API examples, the {AutomationCloudURL} placeholder represents the base URL of your UiPath Automation Cloud instance. The exact value depends on the Automation Cloud offering you are using. Replace {AutomationCloudURL} with the appropriate URL for your environment:

    • Automation Cloud and Test Cloud: https://cloud.uipath.com/.
    • Automation Cloud Public Sector and Test Cloud Public Sector: https://govcloud.uipath.us/.
    • Automation Cloud Dedicated and Test Cloud Dedicated: https://<customURL>.dedicated.uipath.com/.
