Personality Insights - IBM Cloud API Docs

Introduction

Last updated: 2021-06-11

IBM Watson™ Personality Insights is discontinued. Existing instances are supported until 1 December 2021, but as of 1 December 2020, you cannot create new instances. Any instance that exists on 1 December 2021 will be deleted.

No direct replacement exists for Personality Insights. However, you can consider using IBM Watson™ Natural Language Understanding on IBM Cloud® as part of a replacement analytic workflow for your Personality Insights use cases. You can use Natural Language Understanding to extract data and insights from text, such as keywords, categories, sentiment, emotion, and syntax. For more information about the personality models in Personality Insights, see The science behind the service.

The IBM Watson Personality Insights service enables applications to derive insights from social media, enterprise data, or other digital communications. The service uses linguistic analytics to infer individuals' intrinsic personality characteristics, including Big Five, Needs, and Values, from digital communications such as email, text messages, tweets, and forum posts.

The service can automatically infer, from potentially noisy social media, portraits of individuals that reflect their personality characteristics. The service can infer consumption preferences based on the results of its analysis and, for JSON content that is timestamped, can report temporal behavior.

For information about the meaning of the models that the service uses to describe personality characteristics, see Personality models.
For information about the meaning of the consumption preferences, see Consumption preferences.

Note: Request logging is disabled for the Personality Insights service. Regardless of whether you set the X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out request header, the service does not log or retain data from requests and responses.

Disabling SSL verification

All Watson services use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) (or Transport Layer Security (TLS)) for secure connections between the client and server. The connection is verified against the local certificate store to ensure authentication, integrity, and confidentiality.

If you use a self-signed certificate, you need to disable SSL verification to make a successful connection.

Enabling SSL verification is highly recommended. Disabling SSL jeopardizes the security of the connection and data. Disable SSL only if necessary, and take steps to enable SSL as soon as possible.

To disable SSL verification for a curl request, use the --insecure (-k) option with the request.

To disable SSL verification, create an HttpConfigOptions object and set the disableSslVerification property to true. Then, pass the object to the service instance by using the configureClient method.

To disable SSL verification, set the disableSslVerification parameter to true when you create the service instance.

To disable SSL verification, specify True on the set_disable_ssl_verification method for the service instance.

To disable SSL verification, set the disable_ssl_verification parameter to true in the configure_http_client() method for the service instance.

To disable SSL verification, call the DisableSSLVerification method on the service instance.

To disable SSL verification, call the disableSSLVerification() method on the service instance. You cannot disable SSL verification on Linux.

To disable SSL verification, set the DisableSslVerification method to true on the service instance.

Example to disable SSL verification. Replace {apikey} and {url} with your service credentials.

curl -k -X {request_method} -u "apikey:{apikey}" "{url}/{method}"

Example to disable SSL verification

IamAuthenticator authenticator = new IamAuthenticator("{apikey}");
PersonalityInsights personalityInsights = new PersonalityInsights("{version}", authenticator);
personalityInsights.setServiceUrl("{url}");

HttpConfigOptions configOptions = new HttpConfigOptions.Builder()
  .disableSslVerification(true)
  .build();
personalityInsights.configureClient(configOptions);

Example to disable SSL verification

const PersonalityInsightsV3 = require('ibm-watson/personality-insights/v3');
const { IamAuthenticator } = require('ibm-watson/auth');

const personalityInsights = new PersonalityInsightsV3({
  version: '{version}',
  authenticator: new IamAuthenticator({
    apikey: '{apikey}',
  }),
  serviceUrl: '{url}',
  disableSslVerification: true,
});

while (!authenticator.CanAuthenticate())
    yield return null;

var personalityInsights = new PersonalityInsightsService("{version}", authenticator);
personalityInsights.SetServiceUrl("{url}");

personalityInsights.DisableSslVerification = true;

Authentication

You authenticate to the API by using IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM).

You can pass either a bearer token in an authorization header or an API key. Tokens support authenticated requests without embedding service credentials in every call. API keys use basic authentication. For more information, see Authenticating to Watson services.

For testing and development, you can pass an API key directly.
For production use, unless you use the Watson SDKs, use an IAM token.

If you pass in an API key, use apikey for the username and the value of the API key as the password. For example, if the API key is f5sAznhrKQyvBFFaZbtF60m5tzLbqWhyALQawBg5TjRI in the service credentials, include the credentials in your call like this:

curl -u "apikey:f5sAznhrKQyvBFFaZbtF60m5tzLbqWhyALQawBg5TjRI"

For IBM Cloud instances, the SDK provides initialization methods for each form of authentication.

Use the API key to have the SDK manage the lifecycle of the access token. The SDK requests an access token, ensures that the access token is valid, and refreshes it if necessary.
Use the access token to manage the lifecycle yourself. You must periodically refresh the token.

Access between services

Your application might use more than one Watson service. You can grant access between services and you can grant access to more than one service for your applications.

For IBM Cloud services, the method to grant access between Watson services varies depending on the type of API key. For more information, see IAM access.

To grant access between IBM Cloud services, create an authorization between the services. For more information, see Granting access between services.
To grant access to your services by applications without using user credentials, create a service ID, add an API key, and assign access policies. For more information, see Creating and working with service IDs.

When you give a user ID access to multiple services, use an endpoint URL that includes the service instance ID (for example, https://api.us-south.personality-insights.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/6bbda3b3-d572-45e1-8c54-22d6ed9e52c2). You can find the instance ID in two places:

By clicking the service instance row in the Resource list. The instance ID is the GUID in the details pane.
By clicking the name of the service instance in the list and looking at the credentials URL.

If you don't see the instance ID in the URL, the credentials predate service IDs. Add new credentials from the Service credentials page and use those credentials.

Versioning

API requests require a version parameter that takes a date in the format version=YYYY-MM-DD. When we change the API in a backwards-incompatible way, we release a new version date.

Send the version parameter with every API request. The service uses the API version for the date you specify, or the most recent version before that date. Don't default to the current date. Instead, specify a date that matches a version that is compatible with your app, and don't change it until your app is ready for a later version.

Specify the version to use on API requests with the version parameter when you create the service instance. The service uses the API version for the date you specify, or the most recent version before that date. Don't default to the current date. Instead, specify a date that matches a version that is compatible with your app, and don't change it until your app is ready for a later version.

This documentation describes the current version of Personality Insights, 2017-10-13. In some cases, differences in earlier versions are noted in the descriptions of parameters and response models.

Error handling

Personality Insights uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate whether a method completed successfully. HTTP response codes in the 2xx range indicate success. A response in the 4xx range is some sort of failure, and a response in the 5xx range usually indicates an internal system error that cannot be resolved by the user. Response codes are listed with the method.

Response details

The Personality Insights service might return information to the application in response headers.

To access all response headers that the service returns, include the --include (-i) option with a curl request. To see detailed response data for the request, including request headers, response headers, and extra debugging information, include the --verbose (-v) option with the request.

Example request to access response headers

curl -X {request_method} {authentication_method} --include "{url}/v3/{method}"

To access information in the response headers, use one of the request methods that returns details with the response: executeWithDetails(), enqueueWithDetails(), or rxWithDetails(). These methods return a Response<T> object, where T is the expected response model. Use the getResult() method to access the response object for the method, and use the getHeaders() method to access information in response headers.

Example request to access response headers

Response<ReturnType> response = personalityInsights.methodName(parameters)
  .executeWithDetails();
// Access response from methodName
ReturnType returnValue = response.getResult();
// Access information in response headers
Headers responseHeaders = response.getHeaders();

All response data is available in the Response<T> object that is returned by each method. To access information in the response object, use the following properties.

Property	Description
`result`	Returns the response for the service-specific method.
`headers`	Returns the response header information.
`status`	Returns the HTTP status code.

Example request to access response headers

personalityInsights.methodName(parameters)
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.headers);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log('error:', err);
  });

The return value from all service methods is a DetailedResponse object. To access information in the result object or response headers, use the following methods.

DetailedResponse

Method	Description
`get_result()`	Returns the response for the service-specific method.
`get_headers()`	Returns the response header information.
`get_status_code()`	Returns the HTTP status code.

Example request to access response headers

response = personality_insights.methodName(parameters)
# Access response from methodName
print(json.dumps(response.get_result(), indent=2))
# Access information in response headers
print(response.get_headers())
# Access HTTP response status
print(response.get_status_code())

The return value from all service methods is a DetailedResponse object. To access information in the response object, use the following properties.

DetailedResponse

Property	Description
`result`	Returns the response for the service-specific method.
`headers`	Returns the response header information.

  &methodOptions{})
// Access result
core.PrettyPrint(response.GetResult(), "Result ")

// Access response headers
core.PrettyPrint(response.GetHeaders(), "Headers ")

// Access status code
core.PrettyPrint(response.GetStatusCode(), "Status Code ")

All response data is available in the WatsonResponse<T> object that is returned in each method's completionHandler.

Example request to access response headers

personalityInsights.methodName(parameters) {
  response, error in

  guard let result = response?.result else {
    print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "unknown error")
    return
  }
  print(result) // The data returned by the service
  print(response?.statusCode)
  print(response?.headers)
}

The response contains fields for response headers, response JSON, and the status code.

    var responseHeaders = response.Headers;       //  The response headers
    var responseJson = reresponsesults.Response;  //  The raw response JSON
    var statusCode = response.StatusCode;         //  The response status code
}

Data collection

By default, Personality Insights service instances that are not part of Premium plans collect data about API requests and their results. This data is collected only to improve the services for future users. The collected data is not shared or made public. Data is not collected for services that are part of Premium plans.

To prevent IBM usage of your data for an API request, set the X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out header parameter to true.

You must set the header on each request that you do not want IBM to access for general service improvements.

You can set the header by using the setDefaultHeaders method of the service object.

You can set the header by using the headers parameter when you create the service object.

You can set the header by using the set_default_headers method of the service object.

You can set the header by using the add_default_headers method of the service object.

You can set the header by using the SetDefaultHeaders method of the service object.

You can set the header by adding it to the defaultHeaders property of the service object.

You can set the header by using the WithHeader() method of the service object.

Example request

curl -u "apikey:{apikey}" -H "X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out: true" "{url}/{method}"

Example request

Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out", "true");

personalityInsights.setDefaultHeaders(headers);

Example request

const PersonalityInsightsV3 = require('ibm-watson/personality-insights/v3');
const { IamAuthenticator } = require('ibm-watson/auth');

const personalityInsights = new PersonalityInsightsV3({
  version: '{version}',
  authenticator: new IamAuthenticator({
    apikey: '{apikey}',
  }),
  serviceUrl: '{url}',
  headers: {
    'X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out': 'true'
  }
});

Example request

personality_insights.set_default_headers({'x-watson-learning-opt-out': "true"})

Example request

personality_insights.add_default_headers(headers: {"x-watson-learning-opt-out" => "true"})

Example request

import "net/http"

headers := http.Header{}
headers.Add("x-watson-learning-opt-out", "true")
personalityInsights.SetDefaultHeaders(headers)

Example request

personalityInsights.defaultHeaders["X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out"] = "true"

Example request

IamAuthenticator authenticator = new IamAuthenticator(
    apikey: "{apikey}"
    );

PersonalityInsightsService personalityInsights = new PersonalityInsightsService("{version}", authenticator);
personalityInsights.SetServiceUrl("{url}");

personalityInsights.WithHeader("X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out", "true");

Example request

var authenticator = new IamAuthenticator(
    apikey: "{apikey}"
);

while (!authenticator.CanAuthenticate())
    yield return null;

var personalityInsights = new PersonalityInsightsService("{version}", authenticator);
personalityInsights.SetServiceUrl("{url}");

personalityInsights.WithHeader("X-Watson-Learning-Opt-Out", "true");

Synchronous and asynchronous requests

The Java SDK supports both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) execution of service methods. All service methods implement the ServiceCall interface.

To call a method synchronously, use the execute method of the ServiceCall interface. You can call the execute method directly from an instance of the service.
To call a method asynchronously, use the enqueue method of the ServiceCall interface to receive a callback when the response arrives. The ServiceCallback interface of the method's argument provides onResponse and onFailure methods that you override to handle the callback.

The Ruby SDK supports both synchronous (blocking) and asynchronous (non-blocking) execution of service methods. All service methods implement the Concurrent::Async module. When you use the synchronous or asynchronous methods, an IVar object is returned. You access the DetailedResponse object by calling ivar_object.value.

For more information about the Ivar object, see the IVar class docs.

To call a method synchronously, either call the method directly or use the .await chainable method of the Concurrent::Async module.

Calling a method directly (without .await) returns a DetailedResponse object.
To call a method asynchronously, use the .async chainable method of the Concurrent::Async module.

You can call the .await and .async methods directly from an instance of the service.

Example synchronous request

ReturnType returnValue = personalityInsights.method(parameters).execute();

Example asynchronous request

personalityInsights.method(parameters).enqueue(new ServiceCallback<ReturnType>() {
  @Override public void onResponse(ReturnType response) {
    . . .
  }
  @Override public void onFailure(Exception e) {
    . . .
  }
});

Example synchronous request

response = personality_insights.method_name(parameters)

or

response = personality_insights.await.method_name(parameters)

Example asynchronous request

response = personality_insights.async.method_name(parameters)

Generates a personality profile for the author of the input text. The service accepts a maximum of 20 MB of input content, but it requires much less text to produce an accurate profile. The service can analyze text in Arabic, English, Japanese, Korean, or Spanish. It can return its results in a variety of languages.

See also:

Content types

You can provide input content as plain text (text/plain), HTML (text/html), or JSON (application/json) by specifying the Content-Type parameter. The default is text/plain.

Per the JSON specification, the default character encoding for JSON content is effectively always UTF-8.
Per the HTTP specification, the default encoding for plain text and HTML is ISO-8859-1 (effectively, the ASCII character set).

When specifying a content type of plain text or HTML, include the charset parameter to indicate the character encoding of the input text; for example, Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8.

Accept types

You must request a response as JSON (application/json) or comma-separated values (text/csv) by specifying the Accept parameter. CSV output includes a fixed number of columns. Set the csv_headers parameter to true to request optional column headers for CSV output.

Allowable values: [application/json,text/html,text/plain]
Default: text/plain
content_language
str
The language of the input text for the request: Arabic, English, Japanese, Korean, or Spanish. Regional variants are treated as their parent language; for example, en-US is interpreted as en.

The effect of the Content-Language parameter depends on the Content-Type parameter. When Content-Type is text/plain or text/html, Content-Language is the only way to specify the language. When Content-Type is application/json, Content-Language overrides a language specified with the language parameter of a ContentItem object, and content items that specify a different language are ignored; omit this parameter to base the language on the specification of the content items. You can specify any combination of languages for Content-Language and Accept-Language.

Allowable values: [ar,en,es,ja,ko]
Default: en
accept_language
str
The desired language of the response. For two-character arguments, regional variants are treated as their parent language; for example, en-US is interpreted as en. You can specify any combination of languages for the input and response content.

Allowable values: [ar,de,en,es,fr,it,ja,ko,pt-br,zh-cn,zh-tw]
Default: en
raw_scores
