## About

## What it does
Entity Recognition identifies names, organizations, places, and other entities in plain text. Send a `text` string in the request body, and choose whether to run it through `requested_service` set to `azure`, `google`, or `apyhub`.

Use it when you need to extract structured meaning from unstructured text. For example, you can process support tickets, news articles, CRM notes, or internal documents to find people, companies, and locations without writing your own NLP pipeline.

The response wraps provider-specific results under `data.azure`, `data.google`, or `data.apyhub`, depending on the service you request. That makes it useful when you want a single endpoint for entity detection while keeping the downstream response aligned with the NLP provider you choose.

If you already have language or encoding details, you can include `language`, `encoding`, or provider credentials in `azure` or `google` as needed. Entity Recognition is a fit for enrichment workflows, document processing, search indexing, and any automation that starts with free-form text.
