We're helping computers understand language to build smarter AI. And we're putting that power in the hands of developers.
TRY OUR API VISIONA general natural language understanding API that extracts entities, relationships, and context from text. Use this API for text analytics or for building more robust conversational interfaces.
See detailsA graph of real word concepts, people, places, and things that you can query in natural language. Use this API to tap into 180+ million facts on over 20+ million entities.
See detailsProvides human-like natural language responses to questions or intents. Use this API for dialogue in your conversational interface to prevent predictable robotic responses.
Coming soonPerforms extractive or abstractive summarization of articles or input text. Use this API to automatically generate a summary with structured meta-information about entities within.
Coming soonToday's personal assistants and conversational interfaces fail to handle variations in a user's wording or multiple requests in one sentence. We take a language-based semantic approach to handle complex dialogue.
Most of the data being created today is difficult for computers to access. It's hidden in sentences and doubling in size every year. We're making sense of unstructured data to help companies in technology, law, medicine, and government extract information from text.

Add the power of natural language understanding with our fast, simple-to-use APIs.
Designed from the ground up to extract relationships at 6,000 sentences per second. That's over 80x as fast as other solutions.
Human-like conversational interfaces need to understand language at their core. Our APIs are based on language semantics, not keywords.
Extract relations, structure, and meaning from your text with a simple JSON API, making it easy to add to any application on any of your devices.
Language Engine
Extract entities, relationships, and context from text using the Sapien Language Engine. This general natural language understanding API is used for text analytics or for building robust conversational interfaces.
Instead of relying on regular expressions or keyword matching, understand language at its core. Use Sapien to extract entities, handle lists, and even parse out multiple intents in a single request to build more robust conversational interfaces.
Pull out relations from sentences in large quantities of data. Extract symptoms from medical notes, information from case briefs, entities in articles, or additional data hidden in sentences. Make all of it structured and searchable.
Add semantic meaning to your Help Center to surface relevant knowledge base articles more frequently. Instead of relying on keyword search, we use natural language understanding to reduce the number of support emails you receive.
Knowledge Graph
Tap into 180+ million facts on over 20+ million entities using the Cortex Knowledge Graph. Query the graph in natural language or make requests for rich data on people, places, and things.
Instantly answer general knowledge questions in conversational interfaces. Or use our graph to find all items in a particular category—everything from vegetables to airports—to make training models simple.
Display information about people, places, and things in your application. Find company names in an article and show additional information about them on hover.

DOCUMENTATION GET STARTEDWelcome to Plasticity! Get familiar with the Plasticity developer APIs below and explore their features.
Use the example code snippets below to quickly get started prototyping. If you need any help, reach out to us at support@plasticity.ai.
The Plasticity developer HTTP APIs are JSON APIs. POST requests should be sent with a JSON formatted body.
For convenience, some APIs accept both GET and POST requests, which means another way to access an API like the Natural Language Q&A API (other than by POST request as shown in its example) is by using a GET request like so:
https://api.plasticity.ai/cortex/structured/?query=How%20tall%20is%20Michael%20Jordan?&pretty=true
This makes it easy to play around with some of the API endpoints in your browser without having to write any code or use a tool like cURL or Postman.
Request Header Format:
| Header | Value |
Content-Type | application/json |
Request Body Format:
{
"param1": "value1",
"param2": "value2",
"param3": "value3"
}
The Plasticity developer HTTP APIs return JSON-formatted outputs.
Response Header Format:
| Header | Value |
Content-Type | application/json |
Response Status Codes:
| Status Code | Value |
200 | Indicates a successful response. |
400 | Indicates an invalid request error. |
401 | Indicates an authentication error. |
402 | Indicates the free tier for the API has been reached and payment information must be entered to continue usage. |
404 | Indicates the path requested at the API endpoint does not exist. |
429 | Indicates an rate limiting error. |
5xx | Indicates an internal server error. |
Success Response Format:
{
"error": "false",
"data": { ... }
}
Error Response Format:
{
"error": "true",
"errorCode": XXX,
"message": "A message describing the error will appear here."
}
There are three methods you can use to authenticate with the Plasticity developer APIs with your API Key.
If you don't already have an API Key to use, you can generate one here.
You can add a bearer Authorization HTTP header to authenticate with the API. This is the preferred and recommended method of authenticating with the API.
Request Header Format:
| Header | Value |
Authorization | Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY> |
You can pass your API Key as a GET parameter (a URL query variable) or as a parameter in the JSON request body with the key variable.
Request URL Format:
https://api.plasticity.ai/.../.../?key=YOUR_API_KEY¶m1=value1¶m2=value2
Request Body Format:
{
"key": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
"param1": "value1",
"param2": "value2",
"param3": "value3"

The final method of authenticating with an API, which you should not use when actually building an application, is with your Plasticity login session.
That is, when you are logged into your Plasticity developer account in a web browser, accessing an API endpoint like:
https://api.plasticity.ai/cortex/structured/?query=How%20tall%20is%20Michael%20Jordan?&pretty=true
will work without any authentication.
We use the cookies to detect your account and keep you logged in. This method of authenticating with API endpoint is merely provided as a convience for quick prototyping with the APIs in your browser and should not be used as a method of authentication in a real application.
Plasticity APIs that require payment will work until you reach the free tier cap for a particular service.
If you exceed the free tier cap for a particular service and have no payment information on file, requests will fail until you enter your payment information.
You will be billed monthly based on the number of requests made and the pricing schedule for the particular service. All requests are billed at the same CPM rate once you reach each traunch of the pricing schedule.
If at any point your payment information becomes invalid (e.g. expired credit card, etc.), API requests that exceed the free tier cap will continue to work to avoid service disruption to your application. Please update your payment information immediately when this happens to prevent your account from being placed on hold.
The Plasticity APIs may establish rate limiting over certain API endpoints.
If at any point too many requests are made within a given period, the API endpoint will send an error response until the appropriate time interval has passed and requests can be made again. For most applications, this will not be an issue. If your application requires an exception, please email us at support@plasticity.ai.
The HTTP Response headers returned with each request are the best way to know what the rate limit restrictions are and how many requests can be made without exceeding the rate limiter.
Response Header Format:
| Header | Value |
X-Ratelimit-Limit | The total number of requests that can be made in the current period. |
X-Ratelimit-Remaining | The number of requests remaining that can be made in the current period. |
X-Ratelimit-Reset | The UNIX timestamp for when the next period will begin. |
A general natural language understanding API that extracts entities, relationships, intents, context, and more from text. Use this API for text analytics or for building robust conversational interfaces.
Performs various natural language tasks over raw text input.
Request:
| Parameter | Type | Values |
text | String | The text parameter is the sentence or setences to analyze. |
graph optional | Boolean | Controls whether the graph of entities and relationships is returned for each sentence. The graph value may be:
|
ner optional | Boolean | Controls whether named entity recognition is returned for each sentence. The ner value may be:
|
pretty optional | Boolean | Pretty print the response. Useful for debugging. The pretty value may be:

Response:
Returns the output of various natural language tasks on the input text (see below for more information).
Example:
Tokens appear under the tokens key for each sentence as the first element in the array.
Note that multi-word entities like the song "Let It Be" will be tokenized to be treated as a single word. To turn this off, set the ner parameter to false. In cases where it is ambiguous as to whether multiple words should be interepreted as a multi-word entity, "alternatives" for each sentence parse are returned in the response.

BUILD WITH USHumans accrue knowledge and common sense through language. We believe AI should do the same.
Our NLP stack is built from the ground up to extract a graph of real-world knowledge by understanding unstructured text on the internet.
This is how our system learns concepts, context, and conversation.
Our system employs inference, deduction, and distant supervision to uncover hidden knowledge, just like a human would.
We're developing a vector space embedding model for relationships in text called relationship2vec. It embeds external context and semantic meaning in vector features for deep neural networks generated from text.
AIs are often limited to a small number of tasks since they have to be pre-programmed or require large training sets.
We're building a set of abstract and expressive task building blocks called atoms.
We synthesize useful wide-ranging actions learned from natural language instructions in one-shot.
