How to get Nouns from a Sentence in Node.JS

Today’s lesson is very simple. Our goal is to retrieve all nouns from a target sentence or string. Instead of using a word library or NLP to accomplish this the hard way, we will be taking a massive shortcut. An API is going to get us the same results in a fraction of the time. Let’s get started.

Install our NLP client with this reference for our package.json file:

"dependencies": {
    "cloudmersive-nlp-api-client": "^1.1.2"
  }

Now call the wordsNouns function:

var CloudmersiveNlpApiClient = require('cloudmersive-nlp-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveNlpApiClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.apiKeyPrefix = 'Token';
var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveNlpApiClient.WordsApi();
var input = "input_example"; // String | Input string
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
} else {
console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
}
};
apiInstance.wordsNouns(input, callback);

All done. Yes, you read correctly, that’s all there is to it. For more useful functionality like this, check out what else our NLP API can do!
