Quickstart: Check spelling with the REST API and Python - Bing Spell Check - Azure AI services

Use this quickstart to make your first call to the Bing Spell Check REST API. This simple Python application sends a request to the API and returns a list of suggested corrections.

Although this application is written in Python, the API is a RESTful Web service compatible with most programming languages. The source code for this application is available on GitHub

Prerequisites Create an Azure resource

Start using the Bing Spell Check API by creating one of the following Azure resources:

Bing Spell Check resource

Multi-service resource

Initialize the application
  1. Create a new Python file in your favorite IDE or editor, and add the following import statements:

    import requests
    import json
    
  2. Create variables for the text you want to spell check, your subscription key, and your Bing Spell Check endpoint. You can use the global endpoint in the following code, or use the custom subdomain endpoint displayed in the Azure portal for your resource.

    api_key = "<ENTER-KEY-HERE>"
    example_text = "Hollo, wrld" # the text to be spell-checked
    endpoint = "https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v7.0/SpellCheck"
    
Create the parameters for the request
  1. Create a new dictionary with text as the key, and your text as the value.

    data = {'text': example_text}
    
  2. Add the parameters for your request:

    1. Assign your market code to the mkt parameter with the = operator. The market code is the code of the country/region you make the request from.

    2. Add the mode parameter with the & operator, and then assign the spell-check mode. The mode can be either proof (catches most spelling/grammar errors) or spell (catches most spelling errors, but not as many grammar errors).

    params = {
        'mkt':'en-us',
        'mode':'proof'
        }
    
  3. Add a Content-Type header and your subscription key to the Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header.

    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': api_key,
        }
    
Send the request and read the response
  1. Send the POST request by using the requests library.

    response = requests.post(endpoint, headers=headers, params=params, data=data)
    
  2. Get the JSON response and print it.

    json_response = response.json()
    print(json.dumps(json_response, indent=4))
    
Run the application

If you're using the command line, use the following command to run the application:

python <FILE_NAME>.py
Example JSON response

A successful response is returned in JSON, as shown in the following example:

{
   "_type": "SpellCheck",
   "flaggedTokens": [
      {
         "offset": 0,
         "token": "Hollo",
         "type": "UnknownToken",
         "suggestions": [
            {
               "suggestion": "Hello",
               "score": 0.9115257530801
            },
            {
               "suggestion": "Hollow",
               "score": 0.858039839213461
            },
            {
               "suggestion": "Hallo",
               "score": 0.597385084464481
            }
         ]
      },
      {
         "offset": 7,
         "token": "wrld",
         "type": "UnknownToken",
         "suggestions": [
            {
               "suggestion": "world",
               "score": 0.9115257530801
            }
         ]
      }
   ]
}
