Multipage files need S3 and an asynchronous job. Text detection covers six languages. Under the AWS Service Terms AWS may store and use documents to improve the service unless an AI services opt-out policy is set.\n\n**Invofox.** Three public OpenAPI 3.1 files, llms.txt and Markdown docs describe an asynchronous upload and webhook flow, and the free plan covers 500 pages without a card. No status page, rate limit numbers, changelog or official SDK were found, and documents are retained by default, with zero retention limited to Scale and Enterprise.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Textract\n\n1. Sign with SigV4 for service `textract` at `textract.\u003cregion\u003e.amazonaws.com`, or call `aws textract detect-document-text`. The AWS CLI can't send image bytes, so reference an S3 object\n2. Use `StartDocumentTextDetection` or `StartDocumentAnalysis` for any PDF or TIFF of more than one page, pass a `ClientRequestToken`, then page `Get` calls with `NextToken` (1,000 blocks at most each)\n3. Fetch results within 7 days of starting a job, or set `OutputConfig` to write them to your own S3 bucket\n4. Request only the `FeatureTypes` you need. Forms cost $50 per 1,000 pages against $15 for tables or queries in US East\n5. Back off on `ProvisionedThroughputExceededException` (HTTP 400) and `ThrottlingException` (HTTP 500). Neither carries Retry-After, and default quotas are 1 call a second in most Regions\n6. Set the AI services opt-out policy on the AWS organisation before sending customer documents\n\n### Invofox\n\n1. Ask the owner for an API key and the Document Type id or alias from app.invofox.com. No API endpoint lists Document Types\n2. Upload with POST /v1/ingest/uploads as multipart, with `info` as a JSON string. Send `\"useClassifier\": true` in place of `type` to have the type detected\n3. Expect 404 from GET /documents/{id} for the first seconds. Poll from 5 seconds with doubling, and stop at approved, pendingCorrection or discarded\n4. Handle the `file.rejected` webhook or check the import. A rejected file never produces a document, so polling the document waits indefinitely\n5. Do not retry an upload blindly. There is no idempotency key, so send your own id in `clientData` and look it up with `filter` first\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Textract or Invofox?\n\nAmazon Textract scores 73.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Invofox's 46.8 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Amazon Textract and Invofox need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon Textract and Invofox without installing anything?\n\nYes.
