The ARTE API
Integrate ARTE into your application using the ARTE RESTful API. We are in the process of relocating ARTE to a physical server that will be able to handle more requests. As of now, ARTE API can only be used for personal purposes and demonstration.

API Endpoint
ARTE API has a single endpoint

    "text": "TAALES is a tool that measures over 400 classic and new indices of lexical sophistication, and includes indices related to a wide range of sub-constructs.  TAALES indices have been used to inform models of second language (L2) speaking proficiency, first language (L1) and L2 writing proficiency, spoken and written lexical proficiency, genre differences, and satirical language.

Starting with version 2.2, TAALES provides comprehensive index diagnostics, including text-level coverage output (i.e., the percent of words/bigrams/trigrams in a text covered by the index) AND individual word/bigram/trigram index coverage information. See the User Manual for more information.

TAALES takes plain text files as input (it will process all plain text files in a particular folder) and produces a comma separated values (.csv) spreadsheet that is easily read by any spreadsheet software."
