    Getting started

    Prerequisites

    Create a Cognitive Services or Language service resource

    The Language service supports both multi-service and single-service access. Create a Cognitive Services resource if you plan to access multiple cognitive services under a single endpoint/key. For Language service access only, create a Language service resource. You can create the resource using the Azure Portal or Azure CLI following the steps in this document.

    Interaction with the service using the client library begins with a client. To create a client object, you will need the Cognitive Services or Language service endpoint to your resource and a credential that allows you access:

    from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.textanalytics import TextAnalyticsClient

credential = AzureKeyCredential("<api_key>")
text_analytics_client = TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint="https://<resource-name>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/", credential=credential)

    Note that for some Cognitive Services resources the endpoint might look different from the above code snippet. For example, https://<region>.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/.

    Install the package

    Install the Azure Text Analytics client library for Python with pip:

    pip install azure-ai-textanalytics

    import os
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.textanalytics import TextAnalyticsClient
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT"]
key = os.environ["AZURE_LANGUAGE_KEY"]

text_analytics_client = TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))

    Note that 5.2.X and newer targets the Azure Cognitive Service for Language APIs. These APIs include the text analysis and natural language processing features found in the previous versions of the Text Analytics client library. In addition, the service API has changed from semantic to date-based versioning. This version of the client library defaults to the latest supported API version, which currently is 2023-04-01.

    This table shows the relationship between SDK versions and supported API versions of the service

    SDK versionSupported API version of service
    5.3.X - Latest stable release3.0, 3.1, 2022-05-01, 2023-04-01 (default)
    5.2.X3.0, 3.1, 2022-05-01 (default)
    5.1.03.0, 3.1 (default)
    5.0.03.0

    API version can be selected by passing the api_version keyword argument into the client. For the latest Language service features, consider selecting the most recent beta API version. For production scenarios, the latest stable version is recommended. Setting to an older version may result in reduced feature compatibility.

    Authenticate the client

    Get the endpoint

    You can find the endpoint for your Language service resource using the Azure Portal or Azure CLI:

    # Get the endpoint for the Language service resource
az cognitiveservices account show --name "resource-name" --resource-group "resource-group-name" --query "properties.endpoint"

    Get the API Key

    You can get the API key from the Cognitive Services or Language service resource in the Azure Portal. Alternatively, you can use Azure CLI snippet below to get the API key of your resource.

    az cognitiveservices account keys list --name "resource-name" --resource-group "resource-group-name"

    Create a TextAnalyticsClient with an API Key Credential

    Once you have the value for the API key, you can pass it as a string into an instance of AzureKeyCredential. Use the key as the credential parameter to authenticate the client:

    import os
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.textanalytics import TextAnalyticsClient
endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT"]
key = os.environ["AZURE_LANGUAGE_KEY"]

text_analytics_client = TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint, AzureKeyCredential(key))

    Create a TextAnalyticsClient with an Azure Active Directory Credential

    To use an Azure Active Directory (AAD) token credential, provide an instance of the desired credential type obtained from the azure-identity library. Note that regional endpoints do not support AAD authentication. Create a custom subdomain name for your resource in order to use this type of authentication.

    Authentication with AAD requires some initial setup:

    After setup, you can choose which type of credential from azure.identity to use. As an example, DefaultAzureCredential can be used to authenticate the client:

    Set the values of the client ID, tenant ID, and client secret of the AAD application as environment variables: AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET

    Use the returned token credential to authenticate the client:

    import os
from azure.ai.textanalytics import TextAnalyticsClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential

endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT"]
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

text_analytics_client = TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint, credential=credential)

    Key concepts

    TextAnalyticsClient

    The Text Analytics client library provides a TextAnalyticsClient to do analysis on batches of documents. It provides both synchronous and asynchronous operations to access a specific use of text analysis, such as language detection or key phrase extraction.

    Input

    A document is a single unit to be analyzed by the predictive models in the Language service. The input for each operation is passed as a list of documents.

    Each document can be passed as a string in the list, e.g.

    documents = ["I hated the movie. It was so slow!", "The movie made it into my top ten favorites. What a great movie!"]

    or, if you wish to pass in a per-item document id or language/country_hint, they can be passed as a list of DetectLanguageInput or TextDocumentInput or a dict-like representation of the object:

    documents = [
    {"id": "1", "language": "en", "text": "I hated the movie. It was so slow!"},
    {"id": "2", "language": "en", "text": "The movie made it into my top ten favorites. What a great movie!"},
]

    See service limitations for the input, including document length limits, maximum batch size, and supported text encoding.

    Return Value

    The return value for a single document can be a result or error object. A heterogeneous list containing a collection of result and error objects is returned from each operation. These results/errors are index-matched with the order of the provided documents.

    A result, such as AnalyzeSentimentResult, is the result of a text analysis operation and contains a prediction or predictions about a document input.

    The error object, DocumentError, indicates that the service had trouble processing the document and contains the reason it was unsuccessful.

    Document Error Handling

    You can filter for a result or error object in the list by using the is_error attribute. For a result object this is always False and for a DocumentError this is True.

    For example, to filter out all DocumentErrors you might use list comprehension:

    response = text_analytics_client.analyze_sentiment(documents)
successful_responses = [doc for doc in response if not doc.is_error]

    You can also use the kind attribute to filter between result types:

    poller = text_analytics_client.begin_analyze_actions(documents, actions)
response = poller.result()
for result in response:
    if result.kind == "SentimentAnalysis":
        print(f"Sentiment is {result.sentiment}")
    elif result.kind == "KeyPhraseExtraction":
        print(f"Key phrases: {result.key_phrases}")
    elif result.is_error is True:
        print(f"Document error: {result.code}, {result.message}")

    Long-Running Operations

    Long-running operations are operations which consist of an initial request sent to the service to start an operation, followed by polling the service at intervals to determine whether the operation has completed or failed, and if it has succeeded, to get the result.

    Methods that support healthcare analysis, custom text analysis, or multiple analyses are modeled as long-running operations. The client exposes a begin_<method-name> method that returns a poller object. Callers should wait for the operation to complete by calling result() on the poller object returned from the begin_<method-name> method. Sample code snippets are provided to illustrate using long-running operations below.

    Examples

    The following section provides several code snippets covering some of the most common Language service tasks, including:

    Analyze Sentiment

    analyze_sentiment looks at its input text and determines whether its sentiment is positive, negative, neutral or mixed. It's response includes per-sentence sentiment analysis and confidence scores.

    import os
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.textanalytics import TextAnalyticsClient

endpoint = os.environ["AZURE_LANGUAGE_ENDPOINT"]
key = os.environ["AZURE_LANGUAGE_KEY"]

text_analytics_client = TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=AzureKeyCredential(key))

    """I had the best day of my life. I decided to go sky-diving and it made me appreciate my whole life so much more.
    I developed a deep-connection with my instructor as well, and I feel as if I've made a life-long friend in her.""",
    """This was a waste of my time. All of the views on this drop are extremely boring, all I saw was grass. 0/10 would
    not recommend to any divers, even first timers.""",
    """This was pretty good! The sights were ok, and I had fun with my instructors! Can't complain too much about my experience""",
    """I only have one word for my experience: WOW!!! I can't believe I have had such a wonderful skydiving company right
    in my backyard this whole time! I will definitely be a repeat customer, and I want to take my grandmother skydiving too,
    I know she'll love it!"""
]

docs = [doc for doc in result if not doc.is_error]

print("Let's visualize the sentiment of each of these documents")
for idx, doc in enumerate(docs):
    print(f"Document text: {documents[idx]}")
    print(f"Overall sentiment: {doc.sentiment}")

    The returned response is a heterogeneous list of result and error objects: list[AnalyzeSentimentResult, DocumentError]

    Please refer to the service documentation for a conceptual discussion of sentiment analysis. To see how to conduct more granular analysis into the opinions related to individual aspects (such as attributes of a product or service) in a text, see here.

    """We at the Foo Company re-hired Contoso after all of our past successes with the company.
    Though the food was still great, I feel there has been a quality drop since their last time
    catering for us. Is anyone else running into the same problem?""",
    """Bar Company is over the moon about the service we received from Contoso, the best sliders ever!!!!"""
]

result = text_analytics_client.recognize_entities(reviews)
result = [review for review in result if not review.is_error]
organization_to_reviews: typing.Dict[str, typing.List[str]] = {}

for idx, review in enumerate(result):
    for entity in review.entities:

        elif result.is_error is True:
            print(
                f"...Is an error with code '{result.error.code}' and message '{result.error.message}'"
            )

    print("------------------------------------------")

    The returned response is an object encapsulating multiple iterables, each representing results of individual analyses.

    Note: Multiple analysis is available in API version v3.1 and newer.

    Optional Configuration

    Optional keyword arguments can be passed in at the client and per-operation level. The azure-core reference documentation describes available configurations for retries, logging, transport protocols, and more.

    Troubleshooting

    General

    The Text Analytics client will raise exceptions defined in Azure Core.

    Logging

    This library uses the standard logging library for logging. Basic information about HTTP sessions (URLs, headers, etc.) is logged at INFO level.

    Detailed DEBUG level logging, including request/response bodies and unredacted headers, can be enabled on a client with the logging_enable keyword argument:

    import sys
import logging
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.ai.textanalytics import TextAnalyticsClient

# Create a logger for the 'azure' SDK
logger = logging.getLogger('azure')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Configure a console output
handler = logging.StreamHandler(stream=sys.stdout)
logger.addHandler(handler)

endpoint = "https://<resource-name>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/"
credential = DefaultAzureCredential()

# This client will log detailed information about its HTTP sessions, at DEBUG level
text_analytics_client = TextAnalyticsClient(endpoint, credential, logging_enable=True)
result = text_analytics_client.analyze_sentiment(["I did not like the restaurant. The food was too spicy."])

    Similarly, logging_enable can enable detailed logging for a single operation, even when it isn't enabled for the client:

    result = text_analytics_client.analyze_sentiment(documents, logging_enable=True)

    Next steps

      • All operations now take a keyword argument model_version which allows the user to specify a string referencing the desired model version to be used for analysis. If no string specified, it will default to the latest, non-preview version.
      • detect_languages now takes a parameter country_hint which allows you to specify the country hint for the entire batch. Any per-item country hints will take precedence over a whole batch hint.
      • recognize_entities, recognize_pii_entities, recognize_linked_entities, extract_key_phrases, analyze_sentiment now take a parameter language which allows you to specify the language for the entire batch. Any per-item specified language will take precedence over a whole batch hint.
      • A default_country_hint or default_language keyword argument can be passed at client instantiation to set the default values for all operations.
      • A response_hook keyword argument can be passed with a callback to use the raw response from the service. Additionally, values returned for TextDocumentBatchStatistics and model_version used must be retrieved using a response hook.
      • show_stats and model_version parameters move to keyword only arguments.

    • New return types

      • The return types for the batching methods (detect_languages, recognize_entities, recognize_pii_entities, recognize_linked_entities, extract_key_phrases, analyze_sentiment) now return a heterogeneous list of result objects and document errors in the order passed in with the request. To iterate over the list and filter for result or error, a boolean property on each object called is_error can be used to determine whether the returned response object at that index is a result or an error:
      • detect_languages now returns a List[Union[DetectLanguageResult, DocumentError]]
      • recognize_entities now returns a List[Union[RecognizeEntitiesResult, DocumentError]]
      • recognize_pii_entities now returns a List[Union[RecognizePiiEntitiesResult, DocumentError]]
      • recognize_linked_entities now returns a List[Union[RecognizeLinkedEntitiesResult, DocumentError]]
      • extract_key_phrases now returns a List[Union[ExtractKeyPhrasesResult, DocumentError]]
      • analyze_sentiment now returns a List[Union[AnalyzeSentimentResult, DocumentError]]
      • The module-level, single text operations will return a single result object or raise the error found on the document:
      • single_detect_languages returns a DetectLanguageResult
      • single_recognize_entities returns a RecognizeEntitiesResult
      • single_recognize_pii_entities returns a RecognizePiiEntitiesResult
      • single_recognize_linked_entities returns a RecognizeLinkedEntitiesResult
      • single_extract_key_phrases returns a ExtractKeyPhrasesResult
      • single_analyze_sentiment returns a AnalyzeSentimentResult

    • New underlying REST pipeline implementation, based on the new azure-core library.

    • Client and pipeline configuration is now available via keyword arguments at both the client level, and per-operation. See README for a full list of optional configuration arguments.

    • Authentication using azure-identity credentials

    • New error hierarchy:

      • All service errors will now use the base type: azure.core.exceptions.HttpResponseError
      • There is one exception type derived from this base type for authentication errors:
        • ClientAuthenticationError: Authentication failed.

    Breaking changes

    • TextAnalyticsAPI main client has been renamed TextAnalyticsClient
    • TextAnalyticsClient parameter is no longer a region but a complete endpoint

    General Breaking changes

    This version uses a next-generation code generator that might introduce breaking changes.

    • Model signatures now use only keyword-argument syntax. All positional arguments must be re-written as keyword-arguments. To keep auto-completion in most cases, models are now generated for Python 2 and Python 3. Python 3 uses the "*" syntax for keyword-only arguments.

    • Enum types now use the "str" mixin (class AzureEnum(str, Enum)) to improve the behavior when unrecognized enum values are encountered. While this is not a breaking change, the distinctions are important, and are documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html#others At a glance:

      • "is" should not be used at all.
      • "format" will return the string value, where "%s" string formatting will return NameOfEnum.stringvalue. Format syntax should be preferred.
