How to Extract Entities from a String using Java (NLP API)

Looking to incorporate NLP into your application? Start with our Entity Extraction API, capable of identifying and listing named entities from a text string and categorizing each named entity type. Below you can take advantage of ready-to-run code snippets in Java to incorporate this API into your project.

Start by installing the Java SDK with Maven. Add the below reference to the repository in pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then add one to the dependency:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Finish up by adding the import classes and calling the NLP function:

// Import classes:
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiClient;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiException;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.Configuration;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.auth.*;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.ExtractEntitiesApi;
ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("Apikey");
Apikey.setApiKey("YOUR API KEY");
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.setApiKeyPrefix("Token");
ExtractEntitiesApi apiInstance = new ExtractEntitiesApi();
ExtractEntitiesRequest value = new ExtractEntitiesRequest(); // ExtractEntitiesRequest | Input string
try {
    ExtractEntitiesResponse result = apiInstance.extractEntitiesPost(value);
    System.out.println(result);
} catch (ApiException e) {
    System.err.println("Exception when calling ExtractEntitiesApi#extractEntitiesPost");
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Easy as can be. Add your inputs and include your Cloudmersive API key where indicated, then give it a whirl.
