Sometimes you need to connect to services in an automated way and that is one of the use cases for APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). This week we’re using APIs by using the Google Cloud Vision and Natural Language APIs hands-on.

This week’s hands-on labs:

Classify Text into Categories with the Natural Language API

In this lab you’ll learn how to classify text into categories using the Natural Language API

Detect Labels, Faces, and Landmarks in Images with the Cloud Vision API

The Cloud Vision API lets you understand the content of an image by encapsulating powerful machine learning models in a simple REST API. In this lab you’ll send an image to the Cloud Vision API and have it identify objects, faces, and landmarks.

You’ll work through Google Cloud labs to get hands-on experience and when you complete each whole quest, you earn a badge for your LinkedIn!

We’re learning and sharing Google Cloud skills weekly hands-on events using Qwiklabs to help you learn more about Cloud Computing and running your projects on Google servers in the cloud.

Invite a friend who could benefit, and we’ll be happy to help them also get access to qwiklabs.com and to help them get started

Don’t miss out on the fun on Wednesdays as we learn cloud computing skills, one week at a time, with a goal of helping you level up!
