Text Analyser API: Automate Content Analysis at Scale
What it does
- Parse raw text and return structured outputs (tokens, sentences, paragraphs).
- Analyze readability, grammar issues, style, sentiment, and tone.
- Extract entities (names, places, dates), keywords, key phrases, and summaries.
- Classify content by topic, intent, or custom labels.
- Score texts with metrics (readability grade, sentiment score, confidence).
Typical endpoints
- /analyze — combined analysis (readability, sentiment, keywords).
- /entities — named-entity recognition (NER).
- /summarize — short/long summaries.
- /sentiment — polarity and intensity.
- /keywords — ranked keywords and key phrases.
- /classify — topic or custom-model classification.
- /bulk — batch-processing for many documents.
Input & output formats
- Accepts plain text, HTML, or JSON payloads; supports multipart upload for files.
- Returns JSON with standardized fields: id, text, tokens, sentences, entities[], keywords[], sentiment{score,label}, readability{score,grade}, summary, confidence.
Scalability & performance
- Supports bulk endpoints and async jobs for large datasets.
- Pagination and streaming for long results.
- Rate limits, concurrency controls, and configurable batch sizes to optimize throughput.
- Caching for repeat requests and incremental analysis for edited documents.
Security & compliance
- TLS for transport; API keys or OAuth for auth.
- Data retention configurable; support for on-prem or VPC deployments for sensitive data.
- Common compliance: SOC2, GDPR-readiness, and configurable PII redaction.
Integration patterns
- Real-time: analyze user input in web apps (autocomplete, live feedback).
- Batch: ingest content stores (CMS, data lakes) for periodic analysis.
- Pipeline: integrate with ETL, search indexing, or moderation systems.
- Event-driven: trigger analysis on new content via webhooks or message queues.
Pricing & limits (typical)
- Tiered pricing: free tier with low monthly requests, pay-as-you-go per 1K requests or per token/word processed, enterprise contracts for high volume.
- Common limits: requests/sec, max document size, monthly quota; higher tiers increase limits.
Example usage (pseudo-API request)
Code
POST /analyze Authorization: Bearer API_KEY Content-Type: application/json{ “id”: “doc-123”, “text”: “Your text to analyze…”, “features”: [“readability”,“sentiment”,“entities”,“keywords”] }
Best practices
- Pre-clean HTML to remove boilerplate before analysis.
- Use async/bulk for large corpora.
- Cache results for unchanged documents.
- Combine NER + custom entity lists for domain-specific needs.
- Monitor model drift and retrain custom classifiers periodically.
