On December 31, 2008, TextWise released an exciting update to their core API services. As we communicated at that time, our original API service was scheduled to be decommissioned. As of May 27, 2009, calls to the original API service will fail unless changes to your application code and API URL are made.
WHAT’S NEW WITH THE API?
New API calls for:
- Matching signatures to content indexes (Wikipedia, our News and Blog collection, Amazon products, YouTube videos and Photos)
- Concept tags derived from Semantic Signatures
- Text categorization
Usage reporting – see exactly how much you have used per the API license agreement
HOW THIS UPGRADE IMPACTS YOU:
To prepare you for this migration, we have put together a Migration Guide (http://www.semantichacker.com/support/migration-guide) that will take you through the minimal requirements needed to keep your application running. The new API is already available, so you can modify and test your application or even enhance it using the exciting new API calls available to you now.
Again, the current API will be permanently decommissioned on May 27, 2009.
