Text Intelligence

The Text Intelligence APIs make it possible to interact with user-generated text content in a more natural and human-focused way. This begins with our headlining APIs — summarization and sentiment analysis.


POST/solutions/text/v1/measure

Measure word count

Text Intelligence APIs are priced per-word of input. We measure the number of words using a best effort algorithm, but human input is complex.

For this reason, we offer an API to measure a string (at no charge) before submitting it to a paid API. This tells you exactly how many words Apize calculates for a given input.
