Product Categorization API Part 3: Creating an API
Eugene Yan
A developer built a product classification API by creating a TitleCategorize class that prepares product titles and passes them to a machine learning model to return the top three matching categories. The API processes titles through encoding, tokenization, and singularization steps before classification and returns results via a Flask web application with response times displayed in milliseconds. The API was later discontinued to reduce cloud hosting costs.
