$caila.entitiesLookup

Syntax

The method accepts the text for parsing in the string argument and the show all flag. If the flag is:

• true — all the hypotheses found are returned in the response.
• false — the most probable hypothesis is returned.

$caila.entitiesLookup("text@entities.com", true)

A JSON object with the entities found in the phrase is returned in response. The result of search for entities in the text@entities.com phrase, with all the hypotheses returned:

{
   "text":"text@entities.com",
   "entities":{
      "default":true,
      "entity":"duckling.email",              // entity found
      "startPos":0,                           // word position in the phrase
      "endPos":16,
      "text":"text@entities.com",
      "value":"text@entities.com",
      "system":true
   }
}
