Can I get the information or list of ObjectHierarchy in Analyze Image API?

Question

Hi

I'm Ray Cho who is working on a class project using Microsoft Analyze Image API.

I have a question for the API that there is any way we can get the entire ObjectHierarchy.
For example, if the object is banana, then the parent would be Fruit, and then the parent of Fruit would be Food. Can we get the entire ObjectHierarchy?

The reason why I ask it is we want to try to handle every edge case for each object from an image.

@Cho, Ray Yes, you can get this information with the current Analyze API. Please use the query parameter "Objects" in the query to get this information. For example if I use this image, the response displays the following in the response along with confidence and boundary co-ordinates.

    "object": "Strawberry",  
    "confidence": 0.588,  
    "parent": {  
      "object": "Fruit",  
      "confidence": 0.612,  
      "parent": {  
        "object": "Food",  
        "confidence": 0.62  
      }  
    }  

The post query I used in this case is the following, Please note that this feature is only available in English.
