Analyze entity sentiment in a Cloud Storage file

Determine the sentiment (positive or negative) expressed about entities within the text from a file stored in Cloud Storage.

Code sample

Java

// Instantiate the Language client com.google.cloud.language.v1.LanguageServiceClient
try (LanguageServiceClient language = LanguageServiceClient.create()) {
  Document doc =
      Document.newBuilder().setGcsContentUri(gcsUri).setType(Type.PLAIN_TEXT).build();
  AnalyzeEntitySentimentRequest request =
      AnalyzeEntitySentimentRequest.newBuilder()
          .setDocument(doc)
          .setEncodingType(EncodingType.UTF16)
          .build();
  // Detect entity sentiments in the given file
  AnalyzeEntitySentimentResponse response = language.analyzeEntitySentiment(request);
  // Print the response
  for (Entity entity : response.getEntitiesList()) {
    System.out.printf("Entity: %s\n", entity.getName());
    System.out.printf("Salience: %.3f\n", entity.getSalience());
    System.out.printf("Sentiment : %s\n", entity.getSentiment());
    for (EntityMention mention : entity.getMentionsList()) {
      System.out.printf("Begin offset: %d\n", mention.getText().getBeginOffset());
      System.out.printf("Content: %s\n", mention.getText().getContent());
      System.out.printf("Magnitude: %.3f\n", mention.getSentiment().getMagnitude());
      System.out.printf("Sentiment score : %.3f\n", mention.getSentiment().getScore());
      System.out.printf("Type: %s\n\n", mention.getType());
    }
  }
}

Node.js

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const language = require('@google-cloud/language');

// Creates a client
const client = new language.LanguageServiceClient();

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment the following lines to run this code
 */
// const bucketName = 'Your bucket name, e.g. my-bucket';
// const fileName = 'Your file name, e.g. my-file.txt';

// Prepares a document, representing a text file in Cloud Storage
const document = {
  gcsContentUri: `gs://${bucketName}/${fileName}`,
  type: 'PLAIN_TEXT',
};

// Detects sentiment of entities in the document
const [result] = await client.analyzeEntitySentiment({document});
const entities = result.entities;

console.log('Entities and sentiments:');
entities.forEach(entity => {
  console.log(`  Name: ${entity.name}`);
  console.log(`  Type: ${entity.type}`);
  console.log(`  Score: ${entity.sentiment.score}`);
  console.log(`  Magnitude: ${entity.sentiment.magnitude}`);
});
