The system uses advanced statistical models (machine learning & NLP) trained on social data, meaning the detection can handle slang, common misspellings, emoticons, hashtags, etc. You can use this API for free. If you require more flexibility and larger scale you can move up to a paid-for plan. Full details on the awesomeness of the API can be found at chatterbox.co/api. See a CASE STUDY of this API in use here: http://bit.ly/Wlku1z. Please note: The free plan offers 500 statuses classified per day - any use over this will be charged for. If you are using more than 500 statuses per day it is more cost effective to upgrade to one of the low cost, paid-for plans or contact us direct for an Enterprise offering.

ColorTag - ColorTag is a powerful API for color detection. Taking an image file (or URL) as input ColorTag produces a list of text labels and hex RGB values that can be then used as tags for a certain image or item. The API can sort tags by relevance (detecting colors of objects on the image, e.g. a dress, a car, etc.) or simply by weight in the image. First mode is perfect for e-commerce applications, allowing to automatically tag items with colors by simply providing a photo or a thumbnail and build a color tag cloud, so users are able to search items by color (e.g. red). Weight sorting mode can be useful for photos, wallpapers or other images without well-defined objects on them to analyze the palette in general. Text color labels can be assigned with different precision (just basic colors, W3C-compatible colors, precise colors, etc.).

Chinese Sentiment Analysis for Social Media - This API performs Chinese Sentiment Analysis for Social Media (such as Sina Weibo statuses). For a provided message it classifies the status as positive or negative. The system is designed specifically for social media and so it can take advantage of slang and niche language. This API is in testing mode and should be considered a BETA release. The API is likely to change at any point - it is unstable and the results should only be used for testing. Please note: The free plan offers 500 statuses classified per day - any use over this will be charged for. 此API适用于中文社交媒体的情感分析（例如新浪微博），能针对每一条消息进行情感分类：正面或负面。该系统基于社交媒体，能够充分利用俚语，特殊词语等新新网络用语。请注意：该免费版本提供每天500条消息分类 - 超过此上限，将会被额外收费。

Nudity Detection Service - This API allows developers to check for nudity in images.

Animetrics Face Recognition - he Animetrics Face Recognition API can be used to detect human faces in pictures. Information on facial features or “landmarks” is returned as coordinates on the image.. Animetrics Face Recognition will also detect and return the orientation, or “pose” of faces along 3 axes. We plan to add functionality for facial matching very soon! A special capability called “SetPose” is also available. SetPose images are frontal view mugshots of a face which have been zero-corrected for pitch (x axis), yaw (y axis), and roll (z axis). As long as within the input facial image both eyes are visible, then SetPose will pose correct that facial image to x=y=z=0, a perfect frontal.
