Method Details

analyzeEntities(body=None, x__xgafv=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.

Args:
body: object, The request body.
The object takes the form of:

{ # The entity analysis request message.
"document": { # ################################################################ # Represents the input to API methods. # Input document.
"content": "A String", # The content of the input in string format. Cloud audit logging exempt since it is based on user data.
"gcsContentUri": "A String", # The Google Cloud Storage URI where the file content is located. This URI must be of the form: gs://bucket_name/object_name. For more details, see https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/reference-uris. NOTE: Cloud Storage object versioning is not supported.
"language": "A String", # The language of the document (if not specified, the language is automatically detected). Both ISO and BCP-47 language codes are accepted. [Language Support](https://cloud.google.com/natural-language/docs/languages) lists currently supported languages for each API method. If the language (either specified by the caller or automatically detected) is not supported by the called API method, an `INVALID_ARGUMENT` error is returned.
"type": "A String", # Required. If the type is not set or is `TYPE_UNSPECIFIED`, returns an `INVALID_ARGUMENT` error.
