# Document Representations Resource

> Understand the Terminal49 document_representation resource — how extracted document payloads appear via include parameters and document webhook events.

<Info>
  **Beta Feature** - This endpoint is currently in beta. The API is stable, but the schema and behavior may evolve based on feedback.
</Info>

`document_representation` is a **resource type**, not a standalone endpoint.

You receive it through:

* document includes: `include=last_document_representation`
* email submission nested includes: `include=documents.last_document_representation`
* document webhook payloads (`document.extracted`, `document.extraction_failed`) in `included`

## Resource shape

* `type`: `document_representation`
* `attributes.schema_version`: public schema version string
* `attributes.payload`: extracted key/value payload object
* `attributes.created_at`
* `attributes.updated_at`

## Where to fetch related schemas

Use [`GET /document_schemas/{id}`](/api-docs/api-reference/document-schemas/get-a-document-schema) to retrieve schema metadata and payload contracts for document extraction outputs.
