Filter Call
Service Call:
http://api.semantichacker.com/TOKEN/filter[/FilterID]?
Overview
The filter call attempts to 'filter' out useless text from the indicated content. What text is produced varies depending on the filter algorithm used. The filter call is an external call to the same functions used when the 'filter' parameter is provided for other API calls. It can be very useful to "see" what text out of some content page is actually be utilized by the underlying Semantic Signature® technology. The following table details the available algorithms:
The desired filter type used is specified in the call by adding its identifier to the end of the request path. Although the filter ID is not required, it is highly recommended for each call to include the filter ID. If not provided, the filter used will be selected by looking at several properties of the API request made. The method of indicating content, URI, parameter, or upload, as well as the 'Content-Type' header will be utilized to determine the proper filter.
The filter call can be used to see the final text that would be used as input when using other TextWise API calls. To use a filter type other then the default, be sure to include the 'filter' parameter with the request for any call.
Besides the common request parameters, the filter call currently does not have any other request parameters.
The filter call supports the 'xml' and 'json' output formats.
