How to find all Pronouns in a String in Python with NLP

For today’s tutorial, we are going to cover pronoun filtering in Python. Normally this would require some pretty hefty NLP programming time to get off the ground, but not today. No, today we are busting out an API that is already fully equipped to pluck you from the jaws of tedium and perform the task for you. Let’s look at how the setup works.

Install the client as your first step:

pip install git+https://github.com/Cloudmersive/Cloudmersive.APIClient.Python.NLP.git

Now we are going to instantiate our API, followed by calling our function using this instance, and providing it with a key and string to work with.

from __future__ import print_function
import time
import cloudmersive_nlp_api_client
from cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint
# Configure API key authorization: Apikey
configuration = cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.Configuration()
configuration.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
# Uncomment below to setup prefix (e.g. Bearer) for API key, if needed
# configuration.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'
# create an instance of the API class
api_instance = cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.WordsApi(cloudmersive_nlp_api_client.ApiClient(configuration))
input = 'input_example' # str | Input string
try:
# Returns all pronounts in string
api_response = api_instance.words_pronouns(input)
pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
print("Exception when calling WordsApi->words_pronouns: %s\n" % e)

And would you believe it, that’s all there is to it.
