Entity Extractor

Entity Extractor extracts entities such as names and addresses from strings of unstructured data (also known as plain text).

It is possible that not all entities for any selected type will be returned because accuracy varies depending on the type of input. Because Entity Extractor uses natural-language processing, a string containing a grammatically correct sentence from a news article or blog would likely have a more accurate return of names than a simple list of names and dates.
