Code sample

Go


func analyzeSentiment(ctx context.Context, client *language.Client, text string) (*languagepb.AnalyzeSentimentResponse, error) {
	return client.AnalyzeSentiment(ctx, &languagepb.AnalyzeSentimentRequest{
		Document: &languagepb.Document{
			Source: &languagepb.Document_Content{
				Content: text,
			},
			Type: languagepb.Document_PLAIN_TEXT,
		},
	})
}

Java

// Instantiate the Language client com.google.cloud.language.v1.LanguageServiceClient
try (LanguageServiceClient language = LanguageServiceClient.create()) {
  Document doc = Document.newBuilder().setContent(text).setType(Type.PLAIN_TEXT).build();
  AnalyzeSentimentResponse response = language.analyzeSentiment(doc);
  Sentiment sentiment = response.getDocumentSentiment();
  if (sentiment == null) {
    System.out.println("No sentiment found");
  } else {
    System.out.printf("Sentiment magnitude: %.3f\n", sentiment.getMagnitude());
    System.out.printf("Sentiment score: %.3f\n", sentiment.getScore());
  }
  return sentiment;
}

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 line to run this code.
 */
// const text = 'Your text to analyze, e.g. Hello, world!';

// Prepares a document, representing the provided text
const document = {
  content: text,
  type: 'PLAIN_TEXT',
};

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

const sentiment = result.documentSentiment;
console.log('Document sentiment:');
console.log(`  Score: ${sentiment.score}`);
console.log(`  Magnitude: ${sentiment.magnitude}`);

const sentences = result.sentences;
sentences.forEach(sentence => {
  console.log(`Sentence: ${sentence.text.content}`);
  console.log(`  Score: ${sentence.sentiment.score}`);
  console.log(`  Magnitude: ${sentence.sentiment.magnitude}`);
});
