OpenCalais

Gem Version 0.1.* supports the original OpenCalais API

Gem Version 0.2.* now uses the upgraded API http://www.opencalais.com/

Gem Version 0.4.* supports refinitiv API

Open Calais is now found at: https://developers.refinitiv.com/open-permid/intelligent-tagging-restful-api

It has a new default endpoint: https://api-eit.refinitiv.com/permid/calais

This is a ruby gem to access the (formerly OpenCalais) Refinitiv Intelligent Tagging API, using the REST API, and JSON responses.

It uses Faraday to abstract HTTP library (defaults to use excon because it is excellent), and multi_json to abstract JSON parsing.

It returns a parsed version of the response, but the response also contains the raw response (converted from json to hashes/arrays/string/etc).

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'open_calais'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install open_calais

Intelligent Tagging (OpenCalais) has one main method, enrich, and so does the gem:

require 'open_calais'

# you can configure for all calls
OpenCalais.configure do |c|
  c.api_key = "this is a test key"
end

# or you can configure for a single call
open_calais = OpenCalais::Client.new(:api_key => 'an api key')

# it returns a OpenCalais::Response instance
response = open_calais.enrich('Ruby on Rails is a fantastic web framework. It uses MVC, and the Ruby programming language invented by Matz in Japan.')

# which has the 'raw' response
response.raw

# and has been parsed a bit to get :language, :topics, :tags, :entities, :relations, :locations
# as lists of hashes
response.tags.each { |t| puts t[:name] }
