# π Text Analyzer REST API
## π‘ **API Server**
A REST API that provides comprehensive text analysis with exact position tracking.
---
## π― **Quick Start**
### **1. Build the API Server**
```bash
cd text-analyzer

./target/release/api-server
```
**Output:**
```
π Text Analyzer API running on http://0.0.0.0:2000
π POST to http://0.0.0.0:2000/analyze with JSON body: {"text": "your text"}
```
### **3. Test the API**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:2000/analyze \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "The report was written yesterday. This is very important and very critical."}'
```

## π‘ **Usage Examples**
### **Example 1: Using cURL**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:2000/analyze \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"text": "The report was written. It is very important."
### **Example 2: Using Python**
```python
import requests
import json
url = "http://localhost:2000/analyze"
data = {
"text": "The comprehensive analysis was conducted yesterday. At the end of the day, we need to synergize."
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data)
result = response.json()
print(f"Total issues: {result['summary']['total_issues']}")
print(f"Style score: {result['summary']['style_score']}")
for issue in result['issues']:
print(f"\n{issue['type']} at position {issue['start']}-{issue['end']}")
print(f" Text: '{issue['string']}'")
print(f" Suggestions: {issue['suggestions']['recommendation']}")
```
### **Example 3: Using JavaScript/Node.js**
```javascript
const axios = require('axios');
async function analyzeText(text) {
const response = await axios.post('http://localhost:2000/analyze', {
text: text
});
const { issues, summary } = response.data;
console.log(`Total issues: ${summary.total_issues}`);
console.log(`Style score: ${summary.style_score}`);
issues.forEach(issue => {
console.log(`\n${issue.type} at ${issue.start}-${issue.end}`);
console.log(` "${issue.string}"`);
console.log(` Suggestions: ${issue.suggestions.recommendation.join(', ')}`);
});
}
analyzeText("The document was written very carefully.");
```
### **Example 4: Using JavaScript/Fetch (Browser)**
```javascript
async function analyzeText(text) {
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:2000/analyze', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({ text })
});
const data = await response.json();
// Highlight issues in text editor
data.issues.forEach(issue => {
highlightText(issue.start, issue.end, issue.type);
});
return data;
}
// Usage
const result = await analyzeText(document.getElementById('editor').value);
console.log('Analysis complete:', result.summary);
```
---
## π§ **Advanced Usage**
### **Batch Processing**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Process multiple texts
for file in texts/*.txt; do
echo "Analyzing $file..."
curl -X POST http://localhost:2000/analyze \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"text\": \"$(cat $file)\"}" \
> "results/$(basename $file .txt).json"
done
```
### **Integration with Text Editor**
```javascript
// VS Code Extension example
class TextAnalyzerProvider {
async provideDiagnostics(document) {
const text = document.getText();
const response = await fetch('http://localhost:2000/analyze', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ text })
});
const { issues } = await response.json();
return issues.map(issue => ({
range: new vscode.Range(
document.positionAt(issue.start),
document.positionAt(issue.end)
),
message: issue.suggestions.recommendation.join('\n'),
severity: this.getSeverity(issue.type)
}));
}
}
```

## π **Deployment**
### **Production Mode**
```bash
# Build optimized binary
cargo build --release --bin api-server
# Run in background
nohup ./target/release/api-server > api.log 2>&1 &
# Or use systemd
sudo systemctl start text-analyzer-api
```
### **Docker Deployment**
```dockerfile
FROM rust:1.75 as builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN cargo build --release --bin api-server
FROM debian:bookworm-slim
COPY --from=builder /app/target/release/api-server /usr/local/bin/
EXPOSE 2000
CMD ["api-server"]
```
```bash
docker build -t text-analyzer-api .
docker run -p 2000:2000 text-analyzer-api
```
---
## π **Security Notes**
- The API accepts any text input up to reasonable limits
- CORS is enabled (permissive) - configure as needed for production
- No authentication by default - add if needed
- Rate limiting not implemented - add if needed
- Consider adding request size limits for production
---
## β‘ **Performance**
- Average response time: ~50-200ms for typical documents
- Handles texts up to 100KB efficiently
- Concurrent request support via Tokio async runtime
- Memory efficient streaming processing
---
## π **Error Responses**
### **Empty Text**
```json
{
"error": "Text cannot be empty"
}
```
**Status Code:** 400 Bad Request
### **Analysis Error**
```json
{
"error": "Failed to analyze text: [error details]"
}
```
**Status Code:** 500 Internal Server Error
---
## π **Testing**
### **Health Check**
```bash
curl http://localhost:2000/analyze \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text": "test"}'
```
### **Load Testing**
```bash
# Using Apache Bench
ab -n 1000 -c 10 -p test.json -T application/json \
http://localhost:2000/analyze
```
