Senpy lets you create sentiment analysis web services easily, fast and using a well known API. As a bonus, senpy services use semantic vocabularies (e.g. NIF, Marl, Onyx) and formats (turtle, JSON-LD, xml-rdf).
Have you ever wanted to turn your sentiment analysis algorithms into a service? With senpy, now you can. It provides all the tools so you just have to worry about improving your algorithms:
Installation
The stable version can be installed in three ways.
Through PIP
pip install -U --user senpy
Alternatively, you can use the development version:
git clone http://github.com/gsi-upm/senpy
cd senpy
pip install --user .
If you want to install senpy globally, use sudo instead of the --user
flag.
Docker Image
Build the image or use the pre-built one: docker run -ti -p 5000:5000 gsiupm/senpy --default-plugins
.
To add custom plugins, add a volume and tell senpy where to find the plugins: docker run -ti -p 5000:5000 -v <PATH OF PLUGINS>:/plugins gsiupm/senpy --default-plugins -f /plugins
Developing
Developing/debugging
This command will run the senpy container using the latest image available, mounting your current folder so you get your latest code:
# Python 3.5
make dev
# Python 2.7
make dev-2.7
Building a docker image
# Python 3.5
make build-3.5
# Python 2.7
make build-2.7
Testing
make test
Running
This command will run the senpy server listening on localhost:5000
# Python 3.5
make run-3.5
# Python 2.7
make run-2.7
Usage
However, the easiest and recommended way is to just use the command-line tool to load your plugins and launch the server.
senpy
or, alternatively:
python -m senpy
This will create a server with any modules found in the current path. For more options, see the --help page.
Alternatively, you can use the modules included in senpy to build your own application.
Deploying on Heroku
Use a free heroku instance to share your service with the world. Just use the example Procfile in this repository, or build your own.
For more information, check out the documentation.
