You need to have (or sign-up for) a developer account (it's free)

Login, and click 'myWebServices' tab on the top bar menu

Now you can register a new application. On the right side, find the 'Register a new Application' box, and click on 'NER - Named Entity Recognition'

Fill the form, choose between a free subscription, on-demand or paid subscription, and click Save

Now you have activated the NER web service for your new application.

In 'Your Active Web Service list' click on the application name to have access to subscription details, including the PublicAccessID and the SecretAuthKey

Replace the PublicAccessID and SecretAuthKey in the code snippet below with yours data, and you are ready in less than 1 minute!

The PublicAccessID key is sent as clear text, and is used to identify both user and application. Our platform uses an hash based verification system to check the data integrity and the user identity.

The SecretAuthKey is only used locally to generate the hash, and it's never transmitted over the network. You never have to send it. Keep it secret!
