# GetObjectMetadata

| Step Details |
| --- |
| **Introduced in Version** | 9.24 |
| **Last Modified in Version** | -- |
| **Location** | Integration > Amazon AWS > S3 |

The **GetObjectMetadata** step retrieves the **VersionId** of an object before passing it to any Textract S3 step that accepts an optional **objectVersion**. **Amazon Textract** is an AWS service that automatically reads and extracts text, data, and tables from documents and images.

### Prerequisites

- This step requires the [Amazon AWS Module](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/aws) to be [installed](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/installing-modules-decisions) and an active [AWS account](https://signin.aws.amazon.com/signin?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fconsole.aws.amazon.com%2Fconsole%2Fhome%3FhashArgs%3D%2523%26isauthcode%3Dtrue%26nc2%3Dh_ct%26src%3Dheader-signin%26state%3DhashArgsFromTB_eu-north-1_c1412528899e4833&client_id=arn%3Aaws%3Asignin%3A%3A%3Aconsole%2Fcanvas&forceMobileApp=0&code_challenge=HQku5BPrRUboP5p1wGr4Ai_nBIQNSqsR2eHJNCBfxhQ&code_challenge_method=SHA-256), before it will be available in the toolbox. The [Amazon WebServices Settings](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/setting-up-amazon-webservices-integration) must also be configured.
- A [dependency](https://documentation.decisions.com/docs/project-dependencies) must be created after installing the module for the Step to be used properly.
