Frequently Asked Questions

What tags are used?

The API uses standard Part-of-Speech tags such as NN (Noun), VB (Verb), JJ (Adjective), RB (Adverb), and many others to classify words.

Does it handle multiple sentences?

Yes, the API can process longer texts containing multiple sentences and will tag each word accordingly.

Is it case-sensitive?

The API considers capitalization as a feature for tagging (e.g., "Apple" vs "apple"), but it is robust enough to handle standard sentence casing.

How is the POS Tagging API different from the Extract Entities API?

The POS Tagging API identifies the grammatical role of every word (noun, verb, adjective, etc.), while the Extract Entities API specifically identifies and classifies named entities like people, places, and organizations.
