Easy-to-Use RESTful Format: With standardized set of endpoints - gain valuable insights through analysis endpoints, covering product categories, skills, and job positions, providing relevant scores.
Always the same, clean data formats: Rest assured with consistent, predictable JSON format for all returned data. No need to worry about fuzzy AI data.
Tech Support: Crafted by developers for developers, we provide continuous assistance throughout your journey.

Usage

You can inject SharpApiService class or use the facade \SharpApiService singleton.

We recommend you to use Laravel queuing system to optimize dispatched jobs and the process of checking the results, especially if you process bigger batches of data.

Typical use case require these steps:

Dispatch one of the available AI processing methods (this will return job processing status URL)
Run fetchResults($statusUrl) method which operates in polling mode, sending underneath requests every 10 seconds for 180 seconds (these values can be customized).
SharpApiJob object will be returned.
For a job finished with success return status you can obtain the results with one of the methods, for example $jobResultJson = $jobResult->getResultJson().

Each dispatched job usually takes somewhere between a couple of seconds to a minute.

After that period a returned job will usually have success status and it's results will be available for further processing. Each API method returns different return format. Go to List of API methods/endpoints below for details»

Our API guarantees to return correct format every time. AI engines that SharpAPI use in rare cases have a tendency to misbehave and timeout or return incorrect data. In those cases the returned status for the job will be failed. You can rerun the exact same job request in that case.

As long as the job is still being processed by our engine it will keep returning pending status.

Controller usage example

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use SharpAPI\SharpApiService\SharpApiService;

class SharpTest extends Controller
{
    public function __construct(public SharpApiService $sharpApiService)
    {
    }

    /**
     * @throws GuzzleException
     */
    public function detect_phones(): void
    {
        $statusUrl = $this->sharpApiService->detectPhones(
            'Where to find us? Call with a sales tech advisor:
            Call: 1800-394-7486 or our Singapore office +65 8888 8888'
        );
        
        $result = $this->sharpApiService->fetchResults($statusUrl);
        
        dd($result->getResultJson());
        /* returned:
        [
            {
                "detected_number": "1800-394-7486",
                "parsed_number": "+18003947486"
            },
            {
                "detected_number": "+65 8888 8888",
                "parsed_number": "+6588888888"
            }
        ]
         */
    }
}

Guzzle Exceptions

The underlying HTTP requests are facilitated by Laravel HTTP Client/Guzzle, making it advisable to familiarize yourself with common Guzzle Exceptions.

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;

// Step 1: dispatch the job to the API with one of the methods, for example:
try {
    $statusUrl = \SharpApiService::summarizeText(
        $text, 
        'German',   // optional language
        500,    // optional length
        'neutral voice tone'    // optional voice tone
      );
    // $statusUrl example value: 'http://sharpapi.com/api/v1/job/status/75acb6dc-a975-4969-9ef1-c62cebc511cb'
} catch (ClientException $e) {
     $e->getResponse()
}

// Step 2: request to check job status in polling mode and wait for the result
$jobResult = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);

// Step 3: get results of dispatched API job, f.e. this returns job result as a prettied JSON
$jobResultJson = $jobResult->getResultJson();
// ..or PHP array:
$jobResultArray = $jobResult->getResultArray();
// ..or PHP stdClass:
$jobResultObject = $jobResult->getResultObject();

OPTIONAL custom configuration

So you can overwrite these values with .env settings:

SHARP_API_KEY=XXX_key_XXX
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_POLLING_WAIT=200
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_USE_POLLING_INTERVAL=true
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_POLLING_INTERVAL=5
SHARP_API_BASE_URL=MOCK_SERVER

📋 List of API methods/endpoints

Each method always returns SharpApiJob object, where its getResultJson / getResultArray / getResultObject methods will return different data structure. Please refer to the detailed examples provided at SharpAPI.com

For methods that have language parameter you can also use SharpApiLanguages Enum values to make your code more readable.
