Google Cloud Storage

Batch process all your records to store structured outputs in Google Cloud Service.

You will need:

The Google Cloud Storage prerequisites:

• A Google Cloud Storage bucket URL, beginning with gs://.
• A Google Cloud service account key for Google Cloud Storage. The service account key must have at least the Storage Object Viewer role to ensure proper access permissions. Create a service account key. Assign a role.

The Google Cloud Storage connector dependencies:

pip install "unstructured-ingest[gcs]"

You might also need to install additional dependencies, depending on your needs. Learn more.

The following environment variables:

• GCS_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY - The Google Cloud service account key for Google Cloud Storage, represented by --service-account-key (CLI) or service_account_key (Python).
• GCS_REMOTE_URL - The Google Cloud Storage bucket URL, represented by --remote-url (CLI) or remote_url (Python).

Now call the Unstructured CLI or Python. The source connector can be any of the ones supported. This example uses the local source connector:

This example sends files to Unstructured API services for processing by default. To process files locally instead, see the instructions at the end of this page.

For the Unstructured Ingest CLI and the Unstructured Ingest Python library, you can use the --partition-by-api option (CLI) or partition_by_api (Python) parameter to specify where files are processed:

• To do local file processing, omit --partition-by-api (CLI) or partition_by_api (Python), or explicitly specify partition_by_api=False (Python).

  Local file processing does not use an Unstructured API key or API URL, so you can also omit the following, if they appear:

  • --api-key $UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY (CLI) or api_key=os.getenv("UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY") (Python)
  • --partition-endpoint $UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL (CLI) or partition_endpoint=os.getenv("UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL") (Python)
  • The environment variables UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY and UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL

• To send files to Unstructured API services for processing, specify --partition-by-api (CLI) or partition_by_api=True (Python).

  Unstructured API services also requires an Unstructured API key and API URL, by adding the following:

  • --api-key $UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY (CLI) or api_key=os.getenv("UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY") (Python)
  • --partition-endpoint $UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL (CLI) or partition_endpoint=os.getenv("UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL") (Python)
  • The environment variables UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY and UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL, representing your API key and API URL, respectively.
