The Python binding requires Python 2.6 or greater and is available through pip:

pip install rosette_api

# 1. Set utf-8 encoding.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# 2. Imports from rosette.api.
from rosette.api import API, DocumentParameters, MorphologyOutput

# 3. Create API object.
api = API("[your_api-key]")

# 4. Create parameters object
params = DocumentParameters()

# 5. Set parameters.
params["content"] = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Yes he did."

# 6. Make a call.
result = api.morphology(params)

# result is a Python dictionary that contains

{u'tokens': [u'The', u'quick', u'brown', u'fox', u'jumped', u'over', u'the', u'lazy', u'dog', u'.', u'Yes', u'he', u'did', u'.'], u'posTags': [u'DET', u'ADJ', u'ADJ', u'NOUN', u'VERB', u'ADP', u'DET', u'ADJ', u'NOUN', u'PUNCT', u'VERB', u'PRON', u'VERB', u'PUNCT'], u'compoundComponents': [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None], u'lemmas': [u'the', u'quick', u'brown', u'fox', u'jump', u'over', u'the', u'lazy', u'dog', u'.', u'yes', u'he', u'do', u'.'], u'hanReadings': [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]}

The samples use the following procedure:

1. If the application reads text in, set encoding to utf-8 in the first line of the script.

2. Import the rosette.api packages that your application needs. The rosette.api packages include

   • API
   • DocumentParameters
   • NameSimilarityParameters
   • NameTranslationParameters
   • MorphologyOutput
   • DataFormat

3. Create an API object with the user_key parameter.

4. Create a parameters object for your request input:

   Parameter	Endpoint
   NameSimilarityParameters	for /name-similarity
   NameTranslationParameters	for /translated-name
   DocumentParameters	for all other endpoints

5. Set the parameters required for your operation: "content" or "contentUri" for DocumentParameters; "name" and "targetLanguage" for NameTranslationParameters; "name1.text" and "name2.text" for NameSimilarityParameters; Other parameters are optional.

6. Invoke the API method for the endpoint you are calling. The methods are

   • entities(linked) where linked is False for entity extraction and True for entity linking.
   • categories()
   • sentiment()
   • language()
   • morphology(tag) where tag is a member of MorphologyOutput: LEMMAS, PARTS_OF_SPEECH, COMPOUND_COMPONENTS, HAN_READINGS, or COMPLETE. An empty tag is equivalent to COMPLETE.
   • sentences()
   • tokens()
   • relationships()
   • name_translation()
   • name_similarity()
   • matched_name() *deprecated
   • translated_name() *deprecated

7. The API will return a dictionary with the results.
