Prerequisites

Create a Cognitive Services resource or a Language service resource

Azure Cognitive Service for Language 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 and API key. To access the features of the Language service only, create a Language service resource instead.

You can create either resource via the Azure portal or, alternatively, you can follow the steps in this document to create it using the Azure CLI.

Authenticate the client

Interaction with the service using the client library begins with creating an instance of the TextAnalyticsClient class. You will need an endpoint, and either an API key or TokenCredential to instantiate a client object. For more information regarding authenticating with cognitive services, see Authenticate requests to Azure Cognitive Services.

Get an API key

You can get the endpoint and API key from the Cognitive Services resource or Language service resource information in the Azure Portal.

Alternatively, use the Azure CLI snippet below to get the API key from the Language service resource.

az cognitiveservices account keys list --resource-group <your-resource-group-name> --name <your-resource-name>

Create a TextAnalyticsClient using an API key credential

Once you have the value for the API key, create an AzureKeyCredential. This will allow you to update the API key without creating a new client.

With the value of the endpoint and an AzureKeyCredential, you can create the TextAnalyticsClient:

Uri endpoint = new("<endpoint>");
AzureKeyCredential credential = new("<apiKey>");
TextAnalyticsClient client = new(endpoint, credential);

Create a TextAnalyticsClient with an Azure Active Directory credential

Client API key authentication is used in most of the examples in this getting started guide, but you can also authenticate with Azure Active Directory using the Azure Identity library. Note that regional endpoints do not support AAD authentication. Create a custom subdomain for your resource in order to use this type of authentication.

To use the DefaultAzureCredential provider shown below, or other credential providers provided with the Azure SDK, please install the Azure.Identity package:

dotnet add package Azure.Identity

You will also need to register a new AAD application and grant access to the Language service by assigning the "Cognitive Services User" role to your service principal.

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.

Uri endpoint = new("<endpoint>");
TextAnalyticsClient client = new(endpoint, new DefaultAzureCredential());

Key concepts

TextAnalyticsClient

A TextAnalyticsClient is the primary interface for developers using the Text Analytics client library. 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 of input to be analyzed by the predictive models in the Language service. Operations on TextAnalyticsClient may take a single document or a collection of documents to be analyzed as a batch. For document length limits, maximum batch size, and supported text encoding see here.

Operation on multiple documents

For each supported operation, TextAnalyticsClient provides a method that accepts a batch of documents as strings, or a batch of either TextDocumentInput or DetectLanguageInput objects. This methods allow callers to give each document a unique ID, indicate that the documents in the batch are written in different languages, or provide a country hint about the language of the document.

Note: It is recommended to use the batch methods when working on production environments as they allow you to send one request with multiple documents. This is more performant than sending a request per each document.

Return value

Return values, such as AnalyzeSentimentResult, is the result of a Text Analytics operation, containing a prediction or predictions about a single document. An operation's return value also may optionally include information about the document and how it was processed.

Return value Collection

A Return value collection, such as AnalyzeSentimentResultCollection, is a collection of operation results, where each corresponds to one of the documents provided in the input batch. A document and its result will have the same index in the input and result collections. The return value also contains a HasError property that allows to identify if an operation executed was successful or unsuccessful for the given document. It may optionally include information about the document batch and how it was processed.

Long-Running Operations

For large documents which take a long time to execute, these operations are implemented as long-running operations. Long-running operations 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.

For long running operations in the Azure SDK, the client exposes a Start<operation-name> method that returns an Operation<T> or a PageableOperation<T>. You can use the extension method WaitForCompletionAsync() to wait for the operation to complete and obtain its result. A sample code snippet is provided to illustrate using long-running operations below.

Thread safety

We guarantee that all client instance methods are thread-safe and independent of each other (guideline). This ensures that the recommendation of reusing client instances is always safe, even across threads.

Examples

The following section provides several code snippets using the client created above, and covers the main features present in this client library. Although most of the snippets below make use of synchronous service calls, keep in mind that the Azure.AI.TextAnalytics package supports both synchronous and asynchronous APIs.

Sync examples

Async examples

Detect Language

Run a predictive model to determine the language that the passed-in document or batch of documents are written in.

string document =
    "Este documento está escrito en un lenguaje diferente al inglés. Su objectivo es demostrar cómo"
    + " invocar el método de Detección de Lenguaje del servicio de Text Analytics en Microsoft Azure."
    + " También muestra cómo acceder a la información retornada por el servicio. Esta funcionalidad es"
    + " útil para los sistemas de contenido que recopilan texto arbitrario, donde el lenguaje no se conoce"
    + " de antemano. Puede usarse para detectar una amplia gama de lenguajes, variantes, dialectos y"
    + " algunos idiomas regionales o culturales.";

try
{
    Response<DetectedLanguage> response = client.DetectLanguage(document);
    DetectedLanguage language = response.Value;

    Console.WriteLine($"Detected language is {language.Name} with a confidence score of {language.ConfidenceScore}.");
}
catch (RequestFailedException exception)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Error Code: {exception.ErrorCode}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Message: {exception.Message}");
}

For samples on using the production recommended option DetectLanguageBatch see here.

Please refer to the service documentation for a conceptual discussion of language detection.

Analyze Sentiment

Run a predictive model to determine the positive, negative, neutral or mixed sentiment contained in the passed-in document or batch of documents.

string document =
    "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.";

try
{
    Response<DocumentSentiment> response = client.AnalyzeSentiment(document);
    DocumentSentiment docSentiment = response.Value;

    Console.WriteLine($"Document sentiment is {docSentiment.Sentiment} with: ");
    Console.WriteLine($"  Positive confidence score: {docSentiment.ConfidenceScores.Positive}");

Extract Key Phrases

Run a model to identify a collection of significant phrases found in the passed-in document or batch of documents.

string document =
    "My cat might need to see a veterinarian. It has been sneezing more than normal, and although my"
    + " little sister thinks it is funny, I am worried it has the cold that I got last week. We are going"
    + " to call tomorrow and try to schedule an appointment for this week. Hopefully it will be covered by"
    + " the cat's insurance. It might be good to not let it sleep in my room for a while.";

try
{
    Response<KeyPhraseCollection> response = client.ExtractKeyPhrases(document);
    KeyPhraseCollection keyPhrases = response.Value;

    Console.WriteLine($"Extracted {keyPhrases.Count} key phrases:");

Troubleshooting

General

When you interact with the Cognitive Services for Language using the .NET Text Analytics SDK, errors returned by the Language service correspond to the same HTTP status codes returned for REST API requests.

For example, if you submit a batch of text document inputs containing duplicate document ids, a 400 error is returned, indicating "Bad Request".

try
{
    DetectedLanguage result = client.DetectLanguage(document);
}
catch (RequestFailedException e)
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}

You will notice that additional information is logged, like the client request ID of the operation.

Message:
    Azure.RequestFailedException:
    Status: 400 (Bad Request)

Content:
    {"error":{"code":"InvalidRequest","innerError":{"code":"InvalidDocument","message":"Request contains duplicated Ids. Make sure each document has a unique Id."},"message":"Invalid document in request."}}

Setting up console logging

The simplest way to see the logs is to enable the console logging. To create an Azure SDK log listener that outputs messages to console use AzureEventSourceListener.CreateConsoleLogger method.

// Setup a listener to monitor logged events.
using AzureEventSourceListener listener = AzureEventSourceListener.CreateConsoleLogger();

To learn more about other logging mechanisms see here.
