Request

POST https://api.upstage.ai/v1/document-ai/layout-analyzer

Parameters

Request headers

Authorization string Required
Authentication token, format: Bearer API_KEY

Request body

document file Required
The document file to be processed. Supported file formats are listed here.

Requirements

  • Supported file formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, PDF, TIFF, HEIC
  • Maximum file size: 50MB
  • Maximum number of pages per file: 100 pages (For files exceeding 100 pages, the first 100 pages are processed)
  • Supported character sets: Alphanumeric, Hangul, and Hanja are supported. Hanzi and Kanji are in beta versions, which means they are available but not fully supported.

Hanja, Hanzi, and Kanji are writing systems based on Chinese characters used in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese writing systems. Despite sharing similarities, they possess distinct visual representations, pronunciations, meanings, and usage conventions within their respective linguistic contexts. For more information, see this article.

For best results, follow these guidelines:

  • Use high-resolution documents to ensure legibility of text.
  • Ensure a minimum document width of 640 pixels.
  • The performance of the model might vary depending on the text size. Ensure that the smallest text in the image is at least 2.5% of the image's height. For example, if the image is 640 pixels tall, the smallest text should be at least 16 pixels tall.

Response

Functionality overview
