API Response Formats

AlchemyAPI is capable of returning extracted categorization meta-data in a variety of different formats, including XML, JSON, Microformats, and more!

More information on each of the supported response formats is provided below:

XML The default response format.

XML output can be forced using the API parameter:

    outputMode=xml

JSON JSON makes it easy to integrate meta-data extraction into Javascript and your favorite web applications.

JSON output can be forced using the API parameter:

    outputMode=json

RDF RDF enables easy integration of AlchemyAPI output into Semantic Web applications, RDF tuple-stores, and more.

RDF output can be forced using the API parameter:

    outputMode=rdf

For more information on RDF support, see our RDF Schema
Microformats (rel-tag) Microformats enable the integration of standardized, structured information into any web page.

rel-tag output can be forced using the API parameter:

    outputMode=rel-tag

rel-tag output is normally embedded into an XML-formatted API response. To force raw rel-tag Microformat content (without an XML response), use the API parameter:

    outputMode=rel-tag-raw
