Text analytics returns 404 'Resource not found'

Question

Tried to narrow down the problem with Postman. I tried subscriptions in SouthCentralUS and also BrazilSouth, but it's always the same.

POST https://southcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/text/analytics/v2.0

Header: Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: xxx Content-Type: application/json

Body {"url":"https://www.ciclosoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ciclo-software.png"}

Actually I get the same result if I just put the url into the browser as a GET without headers and body. But i don't see what I'm possibly doing wrong. I even thought it could be a internal problem of Azure... ??

Answer 1

What are you trying to achieve?

There are 4 methods in Text Analytics API family:

• Detect language, for language detection. Endpoint is https://southcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/text/analytics/v2.0/languages
• Entities: the API returns a list of recognized entities in a given document. Endpoint is https://southcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/text/analytics/v2.0/entities
• Key Phrases: The API returns a list of strings denoting the key talking points in the input text. Endpoint is https://southcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/text/analytics/v2.0/keyPhrases
• Sentiment: The API returns a numeric score between 0 and 1. Endpoint is https://southcentralus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/text/analytics/v2.0/sentiment

As you can see, none of these endpoints match the one you are trying, hence the 404 you got. Moreover, they are all waiting for Text input in a JSON, not a link like you are trying to provide.

Are you looking for an OCR capability? In that case, you should have a look to Computer Vision API, and then you have 2 possibilities:

• OCR method, see here
• Recognize Text method, see here, currently in preview and only for English text
