Table parameters
Before running a table to return sentiment analysis for your text, you must configure the request type by setting the table parameters.
| Parameter | Description |

| Text content | Type the text that you want to analyze. You cannot enter text and use URL to content simultaneously. |

Working with the MeaningCloud API quota limits
The Qlik Web Connectors use the MeaningCloud API to extract data from MeaningCloud and load it into your Qlik Sense app. While reloading you MeaningCloud-based app, you might receive an error message that the connector has reached the MeaningCloud API rate limit and that all subsequent API calls will fail until the connector falls back under the throttling limit. If you receive this error message, then you have exceeded one of the API rate limits.
You receive an error message that you have reached the API rate limit
Reference - MeaningCloud developer documentation
You can refer to the MeaningCloud API documentation to learn more about the requirements and restrictions imposed by the MeaningCloud API.
Troubleshooting
You receive an error message that you have reached the API rate limit
Possible cause
You have exceeded the API limits imposed by your MeaningCloud API Key.
Proposed action
To reduce the impact of reaching the API rate limits, develop your app with the following in mind:
- Extract only the data you need.
- Reload one MeaningCloud-based application at a time.
- Ensure that loops in your script that make API calls will not result in infinite loops.
