Azure AI Document Intelligence SDK for .NET. Extract text, tables, and structured data from documents using prebuilt and custom models.
Documentation
Azure.AI.DocumentIntelligence (.NET)
Extract text, tables, and structured data from documents using prebuilt and custom models.
Installation
dotnet add package Azure.AI.DocumentIntelligence
dotnet add package Azure.Identity
Current Version: v1.0.0 (GA)
Environment Variables
DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_ENDPOINT=https://<resource-name>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/
DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
BLOB_CONTAINER_SAS_URL=https://<storage>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>?<sas-token>
Authentication
Microsoft Entra ID (Recommended)
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.AI.DocumentIntelligence;
string endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_ENDPOINT");
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var client = new DocumentIntelligenceClient(new Uri(endpoint), credential);
Note: Entra ID requires a custom subdomain (e.g.,
https://<resource-name>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/), not a regional endpoint.
API Key
string endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_ENDPOINT");
string apiKey = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("DOCUMENT_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY");
var client = new DocumentIntelligenceClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureKeyCredential(apiKey));
Client Types
| Client | Purpose |
|---|---|
DocumentIntelligenceClient | Analyze documents, classify documents |
DocumentIntelligenceAdministrationClient | Build/manage custom models and classifiers |
Prebuilt Models
| Model ID | Description |
|---|---|
prebuilt-read | Extract text, languages, handwriting |
prebuilt-layout | Extract text, tables, selection marks, structure |
prebuilt-invoice | Extract invoice fields (vendor, items, totals) |
prebuilt-receipt | Extract receipt fields (merchant, items, total) |
prebuilt-idDocument | Extract ID document fields (name, DOB, address) |
prebuilt-businessCard | Extract business card fields |
prebuilt-tax.us.w2 | Extract W-2 tax form fields |
prebuilt-healthInsuranceCard.us | Extract health insurance card fields |
Core Workflows
1. Analyze Invoice
using Azure.AI.DocumentIntelligence;
Uri invoiceUri = new Uri("https://example.com/invoice.pdf");
Operation<AnalyzeResult> operation = await client.AnalyzeDocumentAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
"prebuilt-invoice",
invoiceUri);
AnalyzeResult result = operation.Value;
foreach (AnalyzedDocument document in result.Documents)
{
if (document.Fields.TryGetValue("VendorName", out DocumentField vendorNameField)
&& vendorNameField.FieldType == DocumentFieldType.String)
{
string vendorName = vendorNameField.ValueString;
Console.WriteLine($"Vendor Name: '{vendorName}', confidence: {vendorNameField.Confidence}");
}
if (document.Fields.TryGetValue("InvoiceTotal", out DocumentField invoiceTotalField)
&& invoiceTotalField.FieldType == DocumentFieldType.Currency)
{
CurrencyValue invoiceTotal = invoiceTotalField.ValueCurrency;
Console.WriteLine($"Invoice Total: '{invoiceTotal.CurrencySymbol}{invoiceTotal.Amount}'");
}
// Extract line items
if (document.Fields.TryGetValue("Items", out DocumentField itemsField)
&& itemsField.FieldType == DocumentFieldType.List)
{
foreach (DocumentField item in itemsField.ValueList)
{
var itemFields = item.ValueDictionary;
if (itemFields.TryGetValue("Description", out DocumentField descField))
Console.WriteLine($" Item: {descField.ValueString}");
}
}
}
2. Extract Layout (Text, Tables, Structure)
Uri fileUri = new Uri("https://example.com/document.pdf");
Operation<AnalyzeResult> operation = await client.AnalyzeDocumentAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
"prebuilt-layout",
fileUri);
AnalyzeResult result = operation.Value;
// Extract text by page
foreach (DocumentPage page in result.Pages)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Page {page.PageNumber}: {page.Lines.Count} lines, {page.Words.Count} words");
foreach (DocumentLine line in page.Lines)
{
Console.WriteLine($" Line: '{line.Content}'");
}
}
// Extract tables
foreach (DocumentTable table in result.Tables)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Table: {table.RowCount} rows x {table.ColumnCount} columns");
foreach (DocumentTableCell cell in table.Cells)
{
Console.WriteLine($" Cell ({cell.RowIndex}, {cell.ColumnIndex}): {cell.Content}");
}
}
3. Analyze Receipt
Operation<AnalyzeResult> operation = await client.AnalyzeDocumentAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
"prebuilt-receipt",
receiptUri);
AnalyzeResult result = operation.Value;
foreach (AnalyzedDocument document in result.Documents)
{
if (document.Fields.TryGetValue("MerchantName", out DocumentField merchantField))
Console.WriteLine($"Merchant: {mercha
