Summary


In this chapter, we have focused on the language APIs. We started by creating the parts that are needed to execute the API calls to the different services. Following this, we looked at the Bing Spell Check API. We moved on to more analytical APIs, where we learned how to detect languages, key phrases, and sentiment. Finally, we looked into how we can use the translator text API.

The next chapter will take us from language APIs to knowledge APIs. In the following chapter, we will learn how to recognize and identify entities based on context. In addition, we will learn how to use the recommendations API.
