LanguageServiceAsyncClient(*, credentials: typing.Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: typing.Optional[typing.Union[str, google.cloud.language_v1beta2.services.language_service.transports.base.LanguageServiceTransport, typing.Callable[[...], google.cloud.language_v1beta2.services.language_service.transports.base.LanguageServiceTransport]]] = 'grpc_asyncio', client_options: typing.Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Provides text analysis operations such as sentiment analysis and entity recognition.

Properties

api_endpoint

Returns
Type	Description
`str`	The API endpoint used by the client instance.

transport

Returns the transport used by the client instance.

Returns
Type	Description
`LanguageServiceTransport`	The transport used by the client instance.

universe_domain

Methods

LanguageServiceAsyncClient

LanguageServiceAsyncClient(*, credentials: typing.Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: typing.Optional[typing.Union[str, google.cloud.language_v1beta2.services.language_service.transports.base.LanguageServiceTransport, typing.Callable[[...], google.cloud.language_v1beta2.services.language_service.transports.base.LanguageServiceTransport]]] = 'grpc_asyncio', client_options: typing.Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the language service async client.

Parameters
Name	Description
`credentials`	`Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials]` The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify the application to the service; if none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.
`transport`	`Optional[Union[str,LanguageServiceTransport,Callable[..., LanguageServiceTransport]]]` The transport to use, or a Callable that constructs and returns a new transport to use. If a Callable is given, it will be called with the same set of initialization arguments as used in the LanguageServiceTransport constructor. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.
`client_options`	`Optional[Union[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions, dict]]` Custom options for the client. 1. The `api_endpoint` property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client when `transport` is not explicitly provided. Only if this property is not set and `transport` was not explicitly provided, the endpoint is determined by the GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable, which have one of the following values: "always" (always use the default mTLS endpoint), "never" (always use the default regular endpoint) and "auto" (auto-switch to the default mTLS endpoint if client certificate is present; this is the default value). 2. If the GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the `client_cert_source` property can be used to provide a client certificate for mTLS transport. If not provided, the default SSL client certificate will be used if present. If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE is "false" or not set, no client certificate will be used. 3. The `universe_domain` property can be used to override the default "googleapis.com" universe. Note that `api_endpoint` property still takes precedence; and `universe_domain` is currently not supported for mTLS.
`client_info`	`google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo` The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If `None`, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

Exceptions
Type	Description
`google.auth.exceptions.MutualTlsChannelError`	If mutual TLS transport creation failed for any reason.
