InvalidParameterException when starting a Textract async job for Document Analysis about boto3 HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for reaching out. The start_document_analysis command makes a call to the StartDocumentAnalysis API. That error is coming from the API. The error has come up a few times before in other issues, for example #2653. As mentioned there (and also in a Stack Overflow post) an invalid S3 bucket name could cause the error.

Can you verify the the S3 bucket name you're using is valid? And can you also confirm that the IAM role you're using has the necessary permissions to use the Textract service and access the S3 bucket where the document is stored?

If still seeing an issue please provide the complete code snippet you're using to reproduce the issue.

from boto3.

Thanks @tim-finnigan
The error was an incorrect role arn specification. I was passing the policy ARN of the SNS permissions attached to the textract role rather than the textract role ARN itself.
