Fetch google nlp entities sentiment

NLP • text • 3rd party API • integration • model

Analyze sentiment about entities in a text using Google Cloud's NLP endpoint.

Each text will be analyzed using Google's API. Any detected entity will generate a row containing information about its sentiment and type, along with a reference to the original text (its index in the input dataset). For more information about the columns in the resulting dataset see the Outputs section below.

API integration

To use this step your team needs to have the Google NLP integration configured in Graphext. The corresponding credentials are required to connect to a third-party API. See our help center for details on how to configure your team's integrations.

To enable the Google NLP integration in particular you will need access to Google's NLP service. Follow the instructions here to create the required API key.
