Hi,
I just installed the Microsoft Starter Pack that includes the Azure ML Text Analytics, however it seems that the macro is using the older version using the https://api.datamarket.azure.com/data.ashx/amla/text-analytics/v1/GetSentiment endpoint whereas the new Cognitive Services uses https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/text/analytics/v2.0
Do you know if there is a difference and if Microsoft intend to phase out the DataMarket version anytime soon? Do you have plans to update the macro to use the new Cognitive Services?
The new site us here: https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/text-analytics-api
thanks,
Bob
Bob,
First off, thanks for alerting us to this change.
Second, after some research, it looks like the service behind the endpoint is identical, and that this is more of a change to better consolidate the text analytics service with the Azure services. Feedback from users in the past indicated that having to go to the datamarket site, which required different credentials than the Azure site, was confusing. The change makes sense.
The difference at this point looks to be purely a change in endpoint, without any change in the service behind it. In other words, the current tool should provide the same capability as anything hitting the newer API.
I'll work within my team to find out how quickly we need to make the transition to the new API.
Thanks,
JP
A replacement tool, Cognitive Services Text Analytics, that uses the new API has been released onto the Gallery.
Hi JP,
thanks for the quick response and good to hear you'll keep an eye on the API to see when changes are required.
