One can get detailed information about providers with GET requests:

curl -H 'apikey: YOUR_INTENTO_KEY' https://api.inten.to/ai.text.translate/

or

curl -H 'apikey: YOUR_INTENTO_KEY' https://api.inten.to/ai.speech.transcribe/

See “Getting available providers” section in the intent docs like ai.text.detect-intent.md.

A typical response looks like this

One can get profider id and requests detailed information:

curl -H 'apikey: YOUR_INTENTO_KEY' https://api.inten.to/ai.text.sentiment/ai.text.sentiment.twinword.sentiment

A typical response looks like this

    "id": "ai.text.sentiment.twinword.sentiment",
    "vendor": "Twinword",
    "logo": "https://inten.to/static/img/api/twinword_sentiment.png",
    "billing": true,
    "description": "Sentiment Analysis",
    "production": true,

    "stock_model": true,
    "custom_model": false,
    "delegated_credentials": false,
    "auth": {
        "key": "YOUR_KEY"
    },
    "languages": {
        "lang": [
            "en"
        ]
    },
    "lang_detect": false,
    "bulk": false
}

General info

id (string) - unique identifier

vendor (string) - vendor name

description (string) - details about the provider

logo (string) - path to the image (url)

auth (dictionary) - structure required for the authentification

Technical info

It may vary depending on the intent (for example, translate intent or image tagging intent).

languages (dictionary { "symmetric": ["list", "of", "strings"], "pairs": ["list", "of", "strings"] }) - supports languages if applicable to the intent.

format (list of strings) supported data formats. Like text, html, xml for the translation intent.

Flags

Flag’s purpose is to reveal provider’s properties at Intento. All of them are boolean.

billable

A provider can be called without passing own keys. If billable:false, one must pass their own keys to the provider.

bulk

A provider supports bulk requests. In our async mode we have sophisticatd workaround for providers with bulk: false, so when using Intentio in async mode (in Web Tools for example) there is no need to worry about this flag.

custom_glossary - an intent-specific flag

Machine translation intent only.

A provider supports passing custom glossaries.

custom_model

A provider supports training models (only on their side for now) and passing them as a custom_model parameter when requesting a job.

integrated

Intento can route requests to a provider.

lang_detect - an intent-specific flag

Machine translation, text classify and sentiment intents only.

A provider supports language detection.

own_auth

A provider supports requests with own keys.

production

A provider advertises their service as beta or preview.

stock_model

A provider can perform requests without uploading training data.

Filtering providers by capabilities

Intento providers support different features. Some of these features are common for all intents (like own auth support or stock model support), other features (like language detection) are intent-specific. So it is useful to check the “Filtering providers by capabilities” section for the certain intent. For example Filtering providers by capabilities for Sentiment analysis.

You can get a list of providers that support a specific feature. All providers supporting html can be filtered with a request:

curl -H 'apikey: YOUR_INTENTO_KEY' https://api.inten.to/ai.text.translate?format=html

Async mode

You can request, say, machine translation jobs or image recognition jobs in the Intento async mode. It is not only a way to process large volumes of data, but also a way to use providers which do not support some features (like html format) by itself.

You can get a list of providers which support html in async mode with the following request:

curl -H 'apikey: YOUR_INTENTO_KEY' https://api.inten.to/ai.text.translate?format=html&mode=async

Compare the response of this request with the response to the request without mode=async - you’ll see significantly more providers in it.
