Methods

LanguageServiceClient

LanguageServiceClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Constructor.

Parameters
NameDescription
channel grpc.Channel

DEPRECATED. A Channel instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive with credentials; providing both will raise an exception.

credentials google.auth.credentials.Credentials

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment. This argument is mutually exclusive with providing a transport instance to transport; doing so will raise an exception.

client_config dict

DEPRECATED. A dictionary of call options for each method. If not specified, the default configuration is used.

client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

client_options Union[dict, google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions]

Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.

analyze_entities

analyze_entities(document, encoding_type=None, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Finds named entities (currently proper names and common nouns) in the text along with entity types, salience, mentions for each entity, and other properties.

.. rubric:: Example

from google.cloud import language_v1

client = language_v1.LanguageServiceClient()

TODO: Initialize document:

document = {}

response = client.analyze_entities(document)

Parameters
NameDescription
document Union[dict, Document]

Input document. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message Document

encoding_type EncodingType

retry Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry]

A retry object used to retry requests. If None is specified, requests will not be retried.

timeout Optional[float]

The amount of time, in seconds, to wait for the request to complete. Note that if retry is specified, the timeout applies to each individual attempt.

metadata Optional[Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]]

Additional metadata that is provided to the method.

Exceptions
TypeDescription
google.api_core.exceptions.GoogleAPICallErrorIf the request failed for any reason.
google.api_core.exceptions.RetryErrorIf the request failed due to a retryable error and retry attempts failed.
ValueErrorIf the parameters are invalid.

analyze_entity_sentiment

analyze_entity_sentiment(document, encoding_type=None, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Finds entities, similar to AnalyzeEntities in the text and analyzes sentiment associated with each entity and its mentions.
