Categories
Category properties
Document classification returns categories drawn from the specified taxonomy.
You can get the list of categories identified by each document classification resource by requesting the corresponding API self-documentation resource.
Each category has two explicit properties, id and label. id is the identifying code, label is the description.
Each category also has an implicit property which is its path within the taxonomy. The path is the sequence of categories that goes from the farthest ancestor to the category itself. For example, the path of the American black bear inside the animal kingdom "category tree" is:
Eukarya
Animalia
Chordata
Mammalia
Carnivora
Ursidae
Ursus
Ursus americanus
If the category tree is flat—it has only one hierarchical level—the path coincides with the category itself.
In the classification output, the path is returned in the hierarchy property. It is an array containing the values of the label property for all the categories along the path.
Categories having the same value for the id property in different language versions of the same taxonomy are conceptually the same. For example, in the different versions of the geotax taxonomy for the five supported languages, the category for Cambodia has the same value for id, but different values for label:
iptc taxonomy
The properties of the categories of the iptc taxonomy reflect those of the Media Topics taxonomy. In particular, the id property corresponds to the numeric part of the Media Topics subject code, while the label property corresponds to its name. As mentioned above, the labels vary by language.
Use the self-documentation resources to get the complete list of recognized categories.
geotax taxonomy
The categories of the geotax taxonomy correspond to all countries of the world.
In the particular cases of United States of America and United Kingdom there are also categories corresponding to the different states or countries that make up the federation or kingdom. For example, there is both a category for the United Kingdom (id = 184.) and one for Wales (id = 18404.).
In such cases, in the category tree the categories corresponding to member countries are nested by a level, that is, they are "children" of the categories corresponding to the federation or kingdom. for example:
United Kingdom
England
Northern Ireland
Scotland
Wales
All categories of the tree can be output. So for example in the case of this input text:
He was born in 1930 in Cardiff.
the output will be:
id |
label |
|---|---|
| 184. | United Kingdom |
| 18404. | Wales |
As mentioned above, the labels of the categories vary by language.
Always use the self-documentation resources to get the complete list of recognized categories.

Note
You may notice that some categories in the tree for English do not have a correspondent in the tree for German.
The reason is that in German the distinction between some categories is not as clear as in English, so it was chosen to collapse similar categories: 301 and 302 were collapsed into 301, 501 and 502 into 501, 511 and 512 into 511 and 701 and 703 in 701.
The categories that can be returned in output—the recognized emotional traits—are only those at the 2nd level of the hierarchy, the "leaves" of the tree.
The 1st level categories function as groups. The information of the group an emotion belongs to is available in output in the hierarchy property, which represents the full path of the output category inside the tree.
For example:
...
"frequency": 50.26,
"hierarchy": [
"Group Delight",
"Amusement"
],
"id": "0704",
"label": "Amusement"
...
It is also possible to get the main groups as an additional output.

The categories that can be returned in output—the recognized behavioral traits—are only those at the 3rd level of the hierarchy, the "leaves" of the tree.
The 1st and 2nd level categories are used to group the other. The information of the group and sub-group a personality trait belongs to is available in output in the hierarchy property, which represents the full path of the output category inside the tree.
For example:
...
"frequency": 75.25,
"hierarchy": [
"Moderation",
"Moderation low",
"Gluttony"
],
"id": "7102",
"label": "Gluttony"
...
