spaCy API Docker

Ready-to-use Docker images for the spaCy NLP library.

spaCy API Docker is being sponsored by the following tool; please help to support us by taking a look and signing up to a free trial

Features

Use the awesome spaCy NLP framework with other programming languages.
Better scaling: One NLP - multiple services.
Build using the official spaCy REST services.
Dependency parsing visualisation with displaCy.
Docker images for English, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and French.
Automated builds to stay up to date with spaCy.
Current spaCy version: 2.0.16

Please note that this is a completely new API and is incompatible with the previous one. If you still need them, use jgontrum/spacyapi:en-legacy or jgontrum/spacyapi:de-legacy.

Usage

docker run -p "127.0.0.1:8080:80" jgontrum/spacyapi:en_v2

All models are loaded at start up time. Depending on the model size and server performance, this can take a few minutes.

The displaCy frontend is available at /ui.

Docker Compose

version: '2'

services:
  spacyapi:
    image: jgontrum/spacyapi:en_v2
    ports:
      - "127.0.0.1:8080:80"
    restart: always

Running Tests

In order to run unit tests locally pytest is included.

docker run -it jgontrum/spacyapi:en_v2 app/env/bin/pytest app/displacy_service_tests

Special Cases

The API includes rudimentary support for specifying special cases for your deployment. Currently only basic special cases are supported; for example, in the spaCy parlance:

tokenizer.add_special_case("isn't", [{ORTH: "isn't"}])

They can be supplied in an environment variable corresponding to the desired language model. For example, en_special_cases or en_core_web_lg_special_cases. They are configured as a single comma-delimited string, such as "isn't,doesn't,won't".

Use the following syntax to specify basic special case rules, such as for preserving contractions:

docker run -p "127.0.0.1:8080:80" -e en_special_cases="isn't,doesn't" jgontrum/spacyapi:en_v2

You can also configure this in a .env file if using docker-compose as above.
