Document Understanding API Guide
Last updated Oct 24, 2025
To classify a document, add the 
         
         projectId, the documentId
            received in the previous step, and the classifierId. To discover
            classifiers, call the Discover Classifiers routes or the Get Project By Id endpoint.
            Here are
            more details about how to use the Discovery Service for retrieving information about the
            project's available classifiers and extractors. The response body provides information
            about the uploaded document.
         The POST call for Classification can be done for synchronous or asynchronous consumption.
Note: Classification data is soft deleted after one day.
         
         
         The following examples are using a POST call for synchronous consumption.
Depending on the operation, Document Understanding Cloud API calls use the following classes:
            
         
      - Document Class for digitized documents.
 - Classification Result for classification results.
