Calling Custom (NER) Demo Deployment

Question

Hi I tried calling my custom (NER) which I am trying to use my custom labeling for PII recognition, however when calling the prediction URL I would get a response of error 404: Resource not found"

URL: https://glen-apd-language-demo.cognitiveservices.azure.com/language/analyze-text/jobs?api-version=2022-10-01-preview

I'm calling the correct API Key from

just calling https://glen-apd-language-demo.cognitiveservices.azure.com/ with apikey uses the standard task PII recognition but not custom (NER)

// Import required modules
const { TextAnalyticsClient, AzureKeyCredential } = require("@azure/ai-text-analytics");

// Function to redact PII using Azure Text Analytics with custom entity recognition
async function redactPIIWithAzure(text) {
    const textAnalyticsEndpoint = "https://glen-apd-language-demo.cognitiveservices.azure.com/language/analyze-text/jobs?api-version=2022-10-01-preview";
    const textAnalyticsApiKey = "xxxxx";

    const client = new TextAnalyticsClient(textAnalyticsEndpoint, new AzureKeyCredential(textAnalyticsApiKey));

    // Add custom entity recognition task
    const customEntityRecognitionTask = {
        kind: 'CustomEntityRecognition',
        parameters: {
            projectName: 'APD_Model',
            deploymentName: 'demoDeploy',
            stringIndexType: 'TextElement_v8'
        }
    };

    try {
        const redactedText = await client.recognizePiiEntities([text], "en", {
            tasks: [customEntityRecognitionTask],
            redaction: true,
        });

        console.log("Redacted text:", redactedText[0].redactedText);
        console.log("Response:", redactedText);

        return redactedText[0].redactedText;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error while redacting PII:", error);
        throw error;
    }
}


// Example usage
(async () => {
    const text = "Your sensitive text containing PII.";
    try {
        const redactedText = await redactPIIWithAzure(text);
        console.log(redactedText);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error("Failed to redact PII:", error);
    }
})();

May you please help me investigate on why my custom (NER) doesn't get return

@Glen Sale For Custom NER, you need to use the below sample, Please update the Key, endpoint, project name and deployment name accordingly:

Sample code:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/main/sdk/cognitivelanguage/ai-language-text/samples/v1/javascript/customEntityRecognition.js

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know. I would be happy to help.
