Introduction
The SemanticHacker API builds on the power of Semantic Signatures®. First introduced to the public in early 2008, Semantic Signatures® allow applications to utilize the meaning of text to power highly-relevant matches between content items. Our latest public release extends our initial offering to developers so that they can now take advantage of additional semantic services such as Concept Tagging, Categorization, and Similarity Search from a simple yet powerful API.
Learn more about Semantic Signatures, Similarity Search and the rest of our innovative semantic technologies.
Getting started with the API is as simple as registering with
SemanticHacker.com. Once your registration is confirmed, you will
receive an API token. Using this token, you can start making calls
to any of the services defined below, and begin integrating
Semantic Signatures® technology into your applications immediately!
