Semantria 5 builds on the Semantria 4 API. Most of the existing API functionality is unchanged, but there are a few backwards-incompatible changes to watch out for. Authentication handling is where most incompatible changes have occurred. Semantria has moved to a more standard authentication scheme that does not require any custom code to implement and adds flexibility for managing permissions and application life-cycle.

Lexalytics will support Semantria 4 until April 30th 2022. After reading this guide, if you have any questions or need help implementing a migration, please contact [email protected]

1. What's new?

• Ability to use languages and industry packs without creating a configuration by specifying a using parameter during document submission
• Taxonomy definitions may now include named entities, user entities, and auto categories.
• User groups and permissions allow more flexibility for managing your user base
• Management endpoints for assigning your custom machine learning models to configurations
• Interact with Semantria purely using REST calls, including using cURL from the command line

2. What's changed?

• Authentication
• All documents are now submitted in batches instead of having separate endpoints for batches and single documents. Submitting a single document is now a batch of one.
• The format of the configuration object has changed significantly.
• There is no longer a default configuration. You must explicitly specify a configuration id to modify a configuration or use it for document processing.
• Separate processing streams are now identified solely by job id.

3. Do you still have SDKs?

There is less need for an SDK in Semantria 5 as all actions are easily accomplished with a straightforward set of REST calls. We do provide a Java SDK that includes a sample implementation of a client for processing documents and handling the returns.

4. Where is the API documentation?

You can now use a Swagger UI to interact with the API live here
