      summary: Get Expense Analysis
      description: Gets the results for an Amazon Textract asynchronous operation that analyzes invoices and receipts. Amazon Textract finds contact information, items purchased, and vendor name, from input invoices and receipts. You start asynchronous invoice/receipt analysis by calling StartExpenseAnalysis, which returns a job identifier (JobId). Upon completion of the invoice/receipt analysis, Amazon Textract publishes the completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic. This topic must be registered in the initial call to StartExpenseAnalysis. To get the results of the invoice/receipt analysis operation, first ensure that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED. If so, call GetExpenseAnalysis, and pass the job identifier (JobId) from the initial call to StartExpenseAnalysis. Use the MaxResults parameter to limit the number of blocks that are returned. If there are more results than specified in MaxResults, the value of NextToken in the operation response contains a pagination token for getting the next set of results. To get the next page of results, call GetExpenseAnalysis, and populate the NextToken request parameter with the token value th

    post:
      operationId: StartExpenseAnalysis
      summary: Start Expense Analysis
      description: Starts the asynchronous analysis of invoices or receipts for data like contact information, items purchased, and vendor names. StartExpenseAnalysis can analyze text in documents that are in JPEG, PNG, and PDF format. The documents must be stored in an Amazon S3 bucket. Use the DocumentLocation parameter to specify the name of your S3 bucket and the name of the document in that bucket. StartExpenseAnalysis returns a job identifier (JobId) that you will provide to GetExpenseAnalysis to retrieve the results of the operation. When the analysis of the input invoices/receipts is finished, Amazon Textract publishes a completion status to the Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic that you provide to the NotificationChannel. To obtain the results of the invoice and receipt analysis operation, ensure that the status value published to the Amazon SNS topic is SUCCEEDED. If so, call GetExpenseAnalysis, and pass the job identifier (JobId) that was returned by your call to StartExpenseAnalysis. For more information, see Analyzing Invoices and Receipts.
