Google.Cloud.Language.V2 is a.NET client library for theCloud Natural Language API.

Note:This documentation is for version1.0.0-beta06 of the library.Some samples may not work with other versions.

Installation

Install theGoogle.Cloud.Language.V2 package from NuGet. Add it toyour project in the normal way (for example by right-clicking on theproject in Visual Studio and choosing "Manage NuGet Packages...").Please ensure you enable pre-release packages (for example, in theVisual Studio NuGet user interface, check the "Include prerelease"box). Some of the following samples might only work with the latest pre-release version (1.0.0-beta06) ofGoogle.Cloud.Language.V2.

Authentication

When running on Google Cloud, no action needs to be taken to authenticate.

Otherwise, the simplest way of authenticating your API calls is toset up Application Default Credentials.The credentials will automatically be used to authenticate. SeeSet up Application Default Credentials for more details.

Getting started

All operations are performed throughLanguageServiceClient.

Create a client instance by calling the staticCreate orCreateAsync methods. Alternatively,use the builder class associated with each client class (e.g. LanguageServiceClientBuilder for LanguageServiceClient)as an easy way of specifying custom credentials, settings, or a custom endpoint. Clients are thread-safe,and we recommend using a single instance across your entire application unless you have a particular needto configure multiple client objects separately.
