Hey Greg, I’ve always included it in the REST based call. I’ve not seen any option for giving it a URI from which to retrieve the text.
I’ve been feeding in tweets, and transcriptions of phone calls but haven’t run into size limits. We’ve been doing keyword analysis, sentiment, language detection, etc. I’m not sure that feeding in large volumes of text would be all that useful. For example, even when doing call transcriptions, I’m looking at sentiment at different parts of a call. Key phrases retrieved from gigabytes of text wouldn’t seem that useful to me.

A colleague is collecting tweets on special subjects and has about 18MB of text so far. I suggested using Text Analytics, so I created a free tier account and I'm in the Console to try it out and find "Key Phrases". However, the API only seems to accept the text to analyse as part of the POST request. This seems crazy, as some people may want to analyze gigwatts of text, and you can't POST that. Can I point the analyser at a Blob or some other pre-uploaded data in the cloud? None of the samples of documentation I've skimmed over so far discusses alternative sources of input. Thanks, Greg K
