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**Veryfi API + MCP.** Typed fields and line items for receipts, invoices, cheques, bank statements and tax forms. API outage on 29 September and degraded, incomplete extraction on 1 October.\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### Veryfi API + MCP\n\n1. Always send an `Idempotency-Key` header so a retry after a 504 doesn't bill twice\n2. Wait for the seconds in `Retry-After` on a 429; identical failing requests are capped at 10 a minute\n3. Set the `CLIENT-ID` header on every call\n4. Use the dedicated endpoints for bank statements, cheques and tax forms, since the documents endpoint handles receipts, invoices and purchase orders\n5. Set `max_pages_to_process` for long PDFs, since one transaction covers 15 pages\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Textract or Veryfi API + MCP?\n\nAmazon Textract scores 73.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Veryfi API + MCP's 55.2 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Veryfi API + MCP leads on agent ergonomics, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Amazon Textract and Veryfi API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Amazon Textract and Veryfi API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes.
