# pluralize-word

## Overview

The pluralize-word API accurately transforms singular nouns into their plural forms. Leveraging an intelligent algorithm, it handles regular and irregular pluralization rules to provide accurate and contextually appropriate results. This API is designed for applications requiring grammatically correct pluralization, such as chatbots, content generation tools, and language learning apps.

## Features

*   **Accurate Pluralization:**  Handles both regular and irregular pluralization rules.
*   **String Input:**  Accepts string input for easy integration.
*   **Fast Response Times:**  Delivers pluralized words quickly and efficiently.

## Use Cases

*   **Chatbot Development:**  Ensures grammatically correct responses in conversational AI applications. For example, a chatbot could use this API to correctly pluralize items in a user's shopping cart.
*   **Content Generation:**  Automates the pluralization of nouns in articles, blog posts, and other written content. Ideal for tools that dynamically generate content based on variable data.
*   **E-commerce Product Descriptions:** Automatically pluralizes product names in descriptions based on quantity. If a user orders more than one "widget", the description accurately reflects "widgets".
*   **Educational Games:** Enhances language learning applications by accurately presenting plural forms of words. For example, a game could use this API to test a user's knowledge of pluralization rules.
*   **Inventory Management Systems:** Accurately tracks and displays the quantity of items. For example, displaying "1 item" or "5 items" correctly.

## Visual Examples

Example Input:

`party`

Example Output:

`parties`

## Pricing

*   1 API unit equals 1 word processed.
*   GET requests to check prediction status (GET /api/v1/magicapi/pluralize-word/predictions/{id}) are free and don't count toward API unit usage.
*   Different pricing tiers are available based on usage volume.

## API Documentation

### Base URL

All API requests should be made to: `https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/pluralize-word`

### Authentication

Authentication is handled via API key. Include your API key in the request header:

```
x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY
```

### Asynchronous Processing

**IMPORTANT**: This API uses asynchronous processing. The typical flow is:

1.  Submit a prediction request to the POST endpoint.
2.  Receive a prediction ID in the response.
3.  Poll the GET endpoint with the prediction ID to check status.
4.  Continue polling until the prediction is complete.

The processing time varies. Your code should implement:

*   A polling interval of 1 second between status checks.
*   A maximum timeout of 600 seconds (10 minutes).
*   Status checking logic that continues while status is "starting" or "processing".
*   Result handling when status becomes "succeeded".
*   Error handling when status becomes "failed" or timeout is reached.

See the Implementation Guide section for code examples.

### Endpoints

#### Pluralize a Word

**Endpoint:** `GET /api/v1/magicapi/pluralize-word/pluralize-word`

**Description:** This endpoint takes a singular word as input and returns its plural form.

**Parameters:**

*   `word` (query parameter, required): The word to pluralize.

**Request Example:**

```bash
curl -X GET "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/pluralize-word/pluralize-word?word=party" \
     -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY"
```

**Response Example (Success):**

```json
{
  "original": "party",
  "plural": "parties"
}
```

**Response Codes:**

*   200 OK: Success.
*   400 Bad Request: Invalid input (e.g., missing 'word' parameter).
*   401 Unauthorized: Missing or invalid API key.
*   402 Payment Required: Payment Required.
*   403 Forbidden: Valid API key but insufficient permissions.
*   404 Not Found: Resource not found.
*   406 Not Acceptable: Not Acceptable.
*   429 Too Many Requests: Rate limit exceeded.

## Status Codes

*   200 OK: Request successful. This indicates that the API request was processed successfully, and the response contains the requested data (e.g., pluralized word).
*   400 Bad Request: Invalid input parameters or malformed request. This indicates that the request sent to the API was not correctly formatted or contained invalid input. For example, if a required parameter is missing or has an incorrect data type, a 400 error will be returned. Check your request parameters and ensure they meet the API's requirements.
*   401 Unauthorized: Missing or invalid API key. This indicates that the API key was not provided in the request or is invalid. Ensure you include the correct API key in the `x-api-market-key` header.
*   403 Forbidden: Valid API key but insufficient permissions.  This indicates that your API key is valid, but your account does not have the necessary permissions to access the requested resource or perform the requested action.
*   404 Not Found: Resource not found.  This indicates that the requested resource (e.g., specific prediction ID) does not exist. Double-check the resource URL for typos or incorrect IDs.
*   429 Too Many Requests: Rate limit exceeded.  This indicates that you have exceeded the API's rate limit. Wait for the specified time before making further requests. See the Rate Limits section for more details.
*   500 Internal Server Error: Server-side error.  This indicates an unexpected error occurred on the server. If you encounter this error, try again later. If the issue persists, contact support.
*   503 Service Unavailable: Service temporarily unavailable. This indicates that the service is temporarily unavailable, likely due to maintenance or high load.  Try again later.

## Rate Limits

Please see the API.market documentation for the latest information on rate limits. Exceeding the rate limit will result in a 429 Too Many Requests error. Implement error handling to gracefully handle rate limits by waiting before retrying.

## Error Handling

The API returns error responses in JSON format, including an error code, a human-readable message, and the HTTP status code.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_parameter",
    "message": "The parameter 'word' is required",
    "status": 400
  }
}
```

Common errors and how to resolve them:

*   `invalid_parameter`: One or more input parameters are invalid. Check the error message for details and correct the input.
*   `unauthorized`:  Invalid API key. Ensure your API key is correct.
*   `rate_limit_exceeded`: Rate limit exceeded. Wait before retrying.

Recommended retry strategies for transient errors (e.g., 500, 503):

*   Implement exponential backoff: Wait longer between retries.
*   Limit the number of retries to prevent infinite loops.

## Implementation Guide

### Example Code

```javascript
// JavaScript example
const apiKey = "YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY";
const baseUrl = "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/pluralize-word";

async function pluralizeWord(word) {
  try {
    const url = `${baseUrl}/pluralize-word?word=${word}`;
    const response = await fetch(url, {
      method: "GET",
      headers: {
        "x-api-market-key": apiKey
      }
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Could not pluralize word:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Example Usage
pluralizeWord("cat")
  .then(result => console.log("Plural:", result.plural))
  .catch(error => console.error("Error:", error));
```

```python
# Python example
import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY"
BASE_URL = "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/pluralize-word"

def pluralize_word(word):
    url = f"{BASE_URL}/pluralize-word?word={word}"
    headers = {"x-api-market-key": API_KEY}

    try:
        response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
        response.raise_for_status()  # Raise HTTPError for bad responses (4xx or 5xx)
        data = response.json()
        return data
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        print(f"Could not pluralize word: {e}")
        raise

# Example Usage
try:
    result = pluralize_word("dog")
    print("Plural:", result["plural"])
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")
```

```bash
# cURL example
curl -X GET "https://prod.api.market/api/v1/magicapi/pluralize-word/pluralize-word?word=box" \
     -H "x-api-market-key: YOUR_API_MARKET_KEY"
```
