Getting Started

The classic way

• Copy the file TextRazor.php into your project and load the class via require_once 'TextRazor.php';.

The Composer way

composer require textrazor/textrazor-php

Example

• Create an instance of the TextRazor object and start analyzing your text.

    <?php
    require_once 'TextRazor.php'; // This is only required if you are **NOT** using Composer!

    TextRazorSettings::setApiKey('YOUR_API_KEY_HERE');

    $text = 'Barclays misled shareholders and the public about one of the biggest investments in the banks history, a BBC Panorama investigation has found.';

    $textrazor = new TextRazor();

    $textrazor->addExtractor('entities');

    $response = $textrazor->analyze($text);
    if (isset($response['response']['entities'])) {
        foreach ($response['response']['entities'] as $entity) {
            print_r($entity['entityId'] . PHP_EOL);
        }
    }
