API Call Response Body Example (Input Misspelled Word = “Progrmming”)

Easily incorporate a spellcheck & ‘suggested corrections’ operation into your Golang project with our NLP API. Take advantage of ready-to-run code below, or head to our Cloudmersive API Console page to find code available in 12 other programming languages. This API will take a single input word, determine if the spelling was correct (true/false), and if false, return a list of suggested spellings.

package mainimport (
"fmt"
"strings"
"net/http"
"io/ioutil"
)
func main() {url := "https://api.cloudmersive.com/nlp-v2/spellcheck/check/word"
method := "POST"
payload := strings.NewReader("Word=%3Cstring%3E")client := &http.Client {
}
req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
req.Header.Add("Apikey", "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE")
res, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
defer res.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
fmt.Println(string(body))
}
