Help Implementing Spotlight and Open Calais
Posted on: Thu, 09/18/2008 - 19:52
Hi guys,
I am an account manager for an online publishing company. We are interested in implementing Reuters Spotlight feeds a semantic tagging from Open Calais. These tasks usually fall to me but I am having trouble deciphering the help files and getting the service to work.
Can anyone suggest a developer with some experience that we might employ a) as a consultant to see what's possible and b) to develop the script .
Thx!

If you are using Reuters Spotlight you should be able to select an option in the API feed URI which includes the Open Calais tagging. Then you need not independently call the Open Calais service.

What is the script you are looking for? There are some samples in the Spotlight Gallery you might want to look at:

Most developers can be reached through the Gallery once you are signed in by clicking on their name and selecting the "contact" tab.
Best regards,
