Choosing the wrong one can make you lose money and time, so you better do some research before jumping into a software.
To explain to you better how all of this works and what you should expect from an API, we will use Klazify, one of the most complete tools available at the moment. To give you information, this software uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning Engine. It analyzes the text from a website and then classifies it into 385+ possible topic categories based on the IAB V2 standard.
To use it, you need to:
1. Go to www.klazify.com and sign in to obtain the API key.
2. Search for the Apple store URL of the app selected and paste it on the space given, confirm that you’re not a robot, and submit it.
3. Then, you’ll obtain the API answer in the programming language you desire. Klazify employs JSON, Python and PHP.
4. Search for the result you desire and save it. You can then use it however you want.
The result will show something like this:
{
"domain": {
"categories": [
{

},
{
"confidence": 0.74,
"name": "/Internet & Telecom/Mobile & Wireless/Mobile Apps & Add-Ons"
}
],

},
