StartEntitiesDetectionJob

Starts an asynchronous entity detection job for a collection of documents. Use the DescribeEntitiesDetectionJob operation to track the status of a job.

This API can be used for either standard entity detection or custom entity recognition. In order to be used for custom entity recognition, the optional EntityRecognizerArn must be used in order to provide access to the recognizer being used to detect the custom entity.

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

ClientRequestToken

A unique identifier for the request. If you don't set the client request token, Amazon Comprehend generates one.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9-]+$

Required: No

DataAccessRoleArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that grants Amazon Comprehend read access to your input data. For more information, see Role-based permissions.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: arn:aws(-[^:]+)?:iam::[0-9]{12}:role/.+

Required: Yes

EntityRecognizerArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the specific entity recognizer to be used by the StartEntitiesDetectionJob. This ARN is optional and is only used for a custom entity recognition job.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: arn:aws(-[^:]+)?:comprehend:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*:[0-9]{12}:entity-recognizer/[a-zA-Z0-9](-*[a-zA-Z0-9])*(/version/[a-zA-Z0-9](-*[a-zA-Z0-9])*)?

Required: No

FlywheelArn

The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the flywheel associated with the model to use.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: arn:aws(-[^:]+)?:comprehend:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*:[0-9]{12}:flywheel/[a-zA-Z0-9](-*[a-zA-Z0-9])*

Required: No

InputDataConfig

Specifies the format and location of the input data for the job.

Type: InputDataConfig object

Required: Yes

JobName

The identifier of the job.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: ^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-%@]*)$

Required: No

LanguageCode

The language of the input documents. All documents must be in the same language. You can specify any of the languages supported by Amazon Comprehend. If custom entities recognition is used, this parameter is ignored and the language used for training the model is used instead.

Type: String

Valid Values: en | es | fr | de | it | pt | ar | hi | ja | ko | zh | zh-TW

Required: Yes

OutputDataConfig

Specifies where to send the output files.

Type: OutputDataConfig object

Required: Yes

Tags

Tags to associate with the entities detection job. A tag is a key-value pair that adds metadata to a resource used by Amazon Comprehend. For example, a tag with "Sales" as the key might be added to a resource to indicate its use by the sales department.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Required: No

VolumeKmsKeyId

ID for the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) key that Amazon Comprehend uses to encrypt data on the storage volume attached to the ML compute instance(s) that process the analysis job. The VolumeKmsKeyId can be either of the following formats:

KMS Key ID: "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"
Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS Key: "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: ^\p{ASCII}+$

Required: No

VpcConfig

Configuration parameters for an optional private Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) containing the resources you are using for your entity detection job. For more information, see Amazon VPC.

Type: VpcConfig object

Required: No

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

EntityRecognizerArn

The ARN of the custom entity recognition model.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: arn:aws(-[^:]+)?:comprehend:[a-zA-Z0-9-]*:[0-9]{12}:entity-recognizer/[a-zA-Z0-9](-*[a-zA-Z0-9])*(/version/[a-zA-Z0-9](-*[a-zA-Z0-9])*)?

JobArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the entities detection job. It is a unique, fully qualified identifier for the job. It includes the AWS account, AWS Region, and the job ID. The format of the ARN is as follows:

arn:<partition>:comprehend:<region>:<account-id>:entities-detection-job/<job-id>

The following is an example job ARN:

arn:aws:comprehend:us-west-2:111122223333:entities-detection-job/1234abcd12ab34cd56ef1234567890ab
