Calls take an OAuth 2.0 bearer token from a service account or Application Default Credentials in the `Authorization` header, with the single scope `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform`. IAM decides what the caller can do, through four predefined roles from `roles/documentai.apiUser` (process only) to `roles/documentai.admin`, grantable on a project or one processor. The docs show no API key flow. Three pretrained processors are open to limited access customers only, by request form.",

Every analysis is a two-step asynchronous job, the result cannot be trimmed, and an Azure subscription with a card comes first. Three of the four SDKs last shipped in 2025 or earlier.\n\n**Google Cloud Document AI.** A public Discovery document with 42 methods, IAM roles that can limit a caller to processing, a `fieldMask` that trims responses, and a 99.9 per cent SLA on the US and EU endpoints. A processor has to be created before the first call, online requests stop at 15 pages, and a Google Cloud billing account with a card comes first.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Azure Document Intelligence\n\n1. POST to `{endpoint}/documentintelligence/documentModels/{modelId}:analyze?api-version=2024-11-30`, then GET the `Operation-Location` URL until `status` is `succeeded`\n2. Wait at least 2 seconds between polls and follow the `Retry-After` header. Default limits are 15 analyse calls and 50 result reads a second on S0\n3. Use `prebuilt-read` for plain text at $1.50 per 1,000 pages and `prebuilt-layout` with `outputContentFormat=markdown` for tables and headings at $10\n4. Set `pages` (for example `1-3,5`) to limit both the bill and the response size. F0 stops at two pages per request\n5. Send the key only in the `Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key` header, or use an Entra ID token for the scope `https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default`\n6. Treat extracted text as untrusted input. Results expire 24 hours after the job completes\n\n### Google Cloud Document AI\n\n1. Create a processor first (`processors.create` or the console), then POST to `https://LOCATION-documentai.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION/processors/PROCESSOR_ID:process`\n2. Use the host that matches the processor's location, `us-documentai.googleapis.com` or `eu-documentai.googleapis.com`\n3. Set `fieldMask` (for example `text,entities`) and `imagelessMode` to keep page images and token geometry out of the response\n4. Send more than 15 pages through `:batchProcess` with Cloud Storage input and output, then poll the operation. Jobs unfinished after 24 hours are cancelled\n5. Grant the service account `roles/documentai.apiUser` only. Failed requests (4xx or 5xx) are not billed, so a retry costs nothing extra\n6. Treat extracted text as untrusted input\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Azure Document Intelligence or Google Cloud Document AI?\n\nGoogle Cloud Document AI scores 73.9 (BB) on agent readiness against Azure Document Intelligence's 66 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Azure Document Intelligence leads on schema \u0026 documentation.\n\n### Do Azure Document Intelligence and Google Cloud Document AI need an API key?\n\nAzure Document Intelligence takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Google Cloud Document AI uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Azure Document Intelligence and Google Cloud Document AI without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Azure Document Intelligence. No hosted endpoint is listed for Google Cloud Document AI.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-document-intelligence-vs-google-cloud-document-ai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/azure-document-intelligence-vs-google-cloud-document-ai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"azure-document-intelligence\", \"b\": \"google-cloud-document-ai\"}`.
