About the API standards

Wikimeta semantic labeling web service provides a fully REST compliant unique access point for all text-mining and content analysis functionality.

The API url is [www.wikimeta.com/wapi/service].

You can ask either JSON or XML format in a standard REST accept header.

You then use POST to transmit text content in the "contenu" field and your API account key in the "api" field.

API Access Key

To use Wikimeta API, you need an access key. If you do not have an API key, you must first obtain one. This is done instantly: open your Wikimeta API account and obtain your key online in a second. Your account will give you access to extra semantic services, like the semantic html editor.

API Usage Quotas

Currently, the API default free usage quotas are 100 calls and 1 megabyte of data a day. If you need a larger quota, please visit our commercial offers or contact us and we would be happy to talk.

Please note that the full access to our webservice (no quota), with a bandwith of 60 kbytes / minute is always granted for student work, on simple request.
