Getting Started with SharpAPI Technical Integration

Here’s the deal: for most scenarios getting SharpAPI up and running is as easy as importing our SDK Client. Seriously, that’s it. Just grab the SDK package for your stack, configure your API key, and you’re ready to kick things into high gear.

Ready to speed things up? Choose your flavor:

• NodeJS SDK: For all you JavaScript maestros.

• PHP SDK: PHP pros, this one’s all yours.
• Laravel SDK: Laravel fan club, we’ve got you.
• .NET SDK: C# crowd, assemble.
• Flutter SDK: Bringing SharpAPI to your mobile app with Flutter.

Take your pick, and let’s get this thing rolling.

For any PHP-based platform it's as simple as

composer require sharpapi/sharpapi-php-client
#or
composer require sharpapi/sharpapi-laravel-client

JavaScript/Node app requires only:

npm i @sharpapi/sharpapi-node-client

..or Python:

pip install sharpapi-python-client
#or
poetry add sharpapi-python-client

And add your API key to .env:

SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

For all other tech stack and programming languages you will find code samples in our Official Postman Documentation.

Let's dive into ten ways SharpAPI can elevate travel applications (with some PHP examples included below).

1. Intelligent Categorization for Tours & Hospitality Offerings

Imagine managing a vast array of travel experiences — from jungle treks to cosy mountain lodges. You want every listing to capture the right vibe so travellers can easily find exactly what they're looking for. That’s where SharpAPI’s Tours & Activities Product Categorization and Hospitality Product Categorization endpoints step in. These tools can accurately categorize tours and hospitality products, enhancing visibility and alignment with customer preferences.

Let’s say you’re categorizing a “Sunset Kayak Adventure” in Thailand or an “Hotel Crystal 大人専用” in Tokyo. SharpAPI helps tag each listing with categories like “Kayaking Tours,” “Romantic Getaways,” and more, based on details like location, theme, and target audience.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::toursAndActivitiesProductCategories(
    content: 'Sunset Kayak Adventure', // Tour or hospitality name
    city: 'Phuket', // Location city
    country: 'Thailand', // Location country
    language: 'English', // Content language
    max_quantity: 5, // Max number of categories
    voice_tone: 'Adventurous' // Tone, which affects naming style,
    context: null     // optional, current categories to compare
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$categories = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

[
    {"name": "Kayaking Tours", "weight": 9.8},
    {"name": "Adventure Travel", "weight": 8.7},
    {"name": "Water Sports", "weight": 8.5},
    {"name": "Nature Tours", "weight": 7.9}
]

For a hospitality product parameters...

{
    "content": "Hotel Crystal 大人専用",
    "city": "Tokyo",
    "country":"Japan",
    "language": "English",
    "max_quantity":10,
    "voice_tone": "neutral",
    "context":null
}

you might see:

[
    { "name": "Adult Only Hotels", "weight": 10 },
    { "name": "Luxury Hotels", "weight": 8.5 },
    { "name": "Boutique Hotels", "weight": 7.5 },
    { "name": "Romantic Getaways", "weight": 7 },
    { "name": "City Hotels", "weight": 6.5 },
    { "name": "Couples Retreats", "weight": 6 }
]

Use Case: Boosting Travel Discovery and Relevance

This feature allows OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) and travel platforms to present users with relevant options effortlessly. Imagine a traveller searching for eco-friendly stays near hiking trails or adrenaline-pumping activities by the beach. By categorizing each product accurately, you ensure that they’re presented with exactly what they're looking for, enhancing user satisfaction and boosting conversion rates.

These capabilities go beyond simple categorization, helping build highly personalized and user-centric travel platforms.

2. Analyzing Sentiments in Travel Reviews

Alright, picture this: You've got a mountain of travel reviews piling up—comments on your safari tours, musings about your beachside bungalows, all the feels about that rooftop pool in Tokyo. But let’s be honest, who has time to sift through all that feedback manually? Enter SharpAPI’s Travel Review Sentiment Checker. This little genius scans each review and tells you, plain and simple, if it’s a thumbs up, a meh, or a total facepalm. It even throws in a handy score, so you know exactly how warm (or chilly) those reviews are.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::travelReviewSentiment(
    content: 'The guided tour of the ancient ruins was absolutely fascinating!' // What the guest thought
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$sentiment = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

{
    "score": 95,
    "opinion": "POSITIVE"
}

Use Case Example: Review Roundup with a Twist

Imagine this: Your dashboard lights up with insights, telling you your walking tour in an old town scored a “positive” with a 95% cheer factor. Your couples’ retreat is the romantic hit of the season and your coffee-tasting sessions? Well, maybe not so much. With data like this, you can see which experiences keep guests buzzing and which ones need a bit of a facelift.

Got a tour that scores big in positivity? Aim your marketing lasers there. Combine it with other insights, and you’re building a sentiment analysis and popularity dashboard that’s basically like eavesdropping on guest conversations (but, you know, ethically).

3. Multilingual Tour & Activities Product Descriptions

Now another example: You’ve crafted the perfect tour description for thrill-seekers—a tantalizing pitch about white-water rafting in the jungle. But wait, your adventure-hungry guests hail from all over the globe. How do you get that electrifying message across in, say, Spanish, without sounding like it was translated by your high school dictionary? Enter SharpAPI’s Advanced Text Translator. This tool does more than swap words; it captures the energy, excitement, or tranquility of your content, so whether you’re promoting a cliff-diving experience or a leisurely vineyard tour, the essence shines through.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::translate(
    content: 'Experience the thrill of white-water rafting in the heart of the jungle.', // What you want to say
    language: 'Spanish', // Target language for translation
    voice_tone: 'exciting' // Tone of voice, because adrenaline junkies need to feel the hype
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$translatedDescription = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

{
    "content": "Experimenta la emoción del rafting en aguas bravas en el corazón de la selva.",
    "to_language": "Spanish",
    "from_language": "English"
}

Use Case Example: Go Global, Stay Local

With SharpAPI’s AI-powred, contextual translator, your tours speak the language of your guests. Promoting to a Spanish-speaking audience? Your rafting adventure feels just as pulse-pounding as in English. Got a French market for those sunset cruises? No problem—the message feels just as dreamy. This tool lets you stay true to your brand’s unique tone while reaching new, multilingual audiences, making it easier than ever to capture imaginations, hearts, and maybe a few passports along the way.

4. Personalized Thank You Emails with a twist

Sometimes it’s the little things—like a friendly, well-crafted thank-you email—that make all the difference in a guest’s experience. Whether they’ve booked a whirlwind adventure across Japan or a cozy stay at a city hotel, SharpAPI’s Custom Thank You Email Generator helps you add that personal touch with ease. This tool goes beyond a generic “thanks” by letting you include travel tips, insider recommendations, and even cultural insights that make guests feel valued and ready for their trip.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateThankYouEmail(
    content: '7-Day Cultural Tour of Japan', // Tour or package name
    language: 'English', // Language for the email content
    max_length: 300, // Maximum content length for clarity and warmth
    voice_tone: 'Friendly', // Tone for a welcoming, personal feel
    context: 'Include tips for first-time visitors to Japan' // Special context for tailored advice
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$emailContent = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

{
    "email": "Thank you for booking our 7-Day Cultural Tour of Japan! We can't wait for you to explore the beauty and history of Japan. Be sure to visit the temples in Kyoto and stop by local sushi spots for an authentic taste. If you need more travel tips, feel free to reach out!"
}

Use Case Example: Building Loyalty with Every Email

This isn’t just about sending an automated follow-up—it’s about showing customers that their experience matters. Tour operators can use SharpAPI’s custom email generator to build loyalty, gently nudging guests toward a memorable journey and increasing the likelihood of future bookings. By layering in practical travel advice, like must-see sights or dining recommendations, each email becomes more than a thank-you; it’s an invitation to connect and engage on a deeper level.

5. Boosting SEO for Destination Listings

Imagine you’re managing a travel website showcasing stunning destinations worldwide. But for travellers to find you, those pages need to stand out in the vast landscape of search engine results. That’s where SEO and Social Media Tags Generator steps in. This tool crafts custom SEO tags and social media metadata, giving your destination listings the boost they need to rank higher and attract more eyeballs.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$attractionDetails = 'Explore the majestic Angkor Wat temple complex...';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateSeoTags(
    content: $attractionDetails, // Description of the attraction
    language: 'English', // Language for SEO tags
    voice_tone: 'Informative' // Tone optimized for SEO
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$seoTags = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

{
    "meta_tags": {
        "title": "Explore Angkor Wat - A Journey into History",
        "keywords": "Angkor Wat, temples, Cambodia, historical sites, Southeast Asia",
        "description": "Discover the wonders of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a journey through ancient history.",
        "author": "BestOTA",
        "og:title": "Explore Angkor Wat - A Journey into History",
        "og:description": "Discover the wonders of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. A UNESCO World Heritage Site offering a journey through ancient history.",
		"og:url": "https://...",
		"og:image": "https://...",
		"og:type": "article",
		"og:site_name": "Best OTA",
        "twitter:title": "Explore Angkor Wat - A Journey into History",
        "twitter:description": "Discover the wonders of Angkor Wat in Cambodia.",
		"twitter:card": "summary",
		"twitter:image": "https://...",
		"twitter:creator": "Best OTA"
    }
}

Use Case Example: Driving Organic Traffic to Your Destinations

This tool isn’t just about boosting your SEO; it’s about painting the right picture for every destination page. By using SharpAPI’s SEO generator, you ensure each listing has meta tags that not only please search engine algorithms but also capture the essence of the place. With strong titles, keywords, and social tags, you can draw organic traffic straight to the pages that matter. Perfect for travel agencies, this means better visibility and, ultimately, more bookings.

6. Content Paraphrasing - Dynamic Seasonal Content Generation

Travel trends change with the seasons. Whether it’s promoting winter escapes to cosy chalets or marketing tropical beach getaways in summer, staying relevant with the season’s vibe can make a big difference. With Paraphrase Text and Advanced Translator tools, you can quickly refresh descriptions, blog content, and marketing copy to align with each season.

Imagine you’re a travel agency looking to tailor content across regions: Your winter deals for ski resorts need a cozy, adventurous tone, while summer listings for beach destinations should feel sunny and carefree. SharpAPI lets you paraphrase descriptions to add seasonal flair and even translate them for multilingual campaigns.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$summerDescription = 'Escape to a sun-drenched paradise with crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches...';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::paraphrase(
    content: $summerDescription, // Original description
    max_length: 200, // Max length for variation
    voice_tone: 'relaxed', // Tone for a summer feel
    context: 'Reword for a summer promotion' // Context to add seasonal flavor
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$paraphrasedContent = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

{
    "paraphrase": "Discover a blissful getaway to sun-soaked shores, with turquoise waters and powdery white sands perfect for your summer escape."
}

Use Case Example: Season-Specific Content and Multilingual Campaigns

This feature is ideal for travel businesses running seasonal campaigns. Update content quickly for different holidays or regions—think ski resort descriptions for winter markets or romantic getaways for Valentine’s Day. Tailoring language to each season or celebration makes your listings fresh and relevant, boosting engagement and conversions across different markets.

7. Captivating Summaries for Destinations and Travel Packages

When it comes to showcasing destinations or travel packages, a concise yet captivating summary can make all the difference in catching a traveler’s eye. Summarize Text endpoint helps by transforming detailed descriptions into engaging, bite-sized summaries that emphasize each destination’s unique appeal. Whether you’re comparing a serene beach retreat with a thrilling jungle adventure or highlighting a luxurious city escape, these summaries allow users to see the best of each option at a glance.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$destinationDetails = 'Santorini, Greece: known for its white-washed buildings, breathtaking sunsets over the Aegean Sea, and luxurious cliffside resorts.';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::summarizeText(
    content: $destinationDetails, // Description of the destination or package
    language: 'English', // Output language
    max_length: 100, // Max length for quick comparisons
    voice_tone: 'Romantic' // Tone that matches the destination vibe
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$summary = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

{
    "summary": "Santorini: Experience breathtaking Aegean sunsets, luxurious cliffside resorts, and romantic white-washed villages. Ideal for couples and sunset lovers."
}

Use Case Example: Elevating Destination Listings with SEO-Ready Keywords

For an even greater impact, travel platforms can mix SharpAPI’s Summarize Text with the Keywords & Tags Generator to create summaries enhanced with SEO-rich keywords and tags. This not only enhances readability but also boosts visibility, making it easier for users to discover unique travel options through organic search.

Imagine pairing a dreamy Santorini summary with targeted tags like “Greek Islands,” “romantic getaways,” and “sunset destinations.” This combination gives travel listings both an informative edge and SEO appeal, driving organic traffic and making listings as engaging as they are discoverable.

8. SEO-Optimized Keywords & Tag Generation for Destinations

Creating effective keywords and tags isn’t just about visibility; it’s about building a connection with travelers who are searching for the right experience. SharpAPI’s Keywords & Tags Generator does the heavy lifting by generating targeted keywords and tags that align with the essence of each destination. Whether you’re promoting a secluded Greek island or a bustling city escape, this tool helps craft a descriptive language that drives organic traffic and resonates with travelers.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::generateKeywords(
    content: 'Santorini, a picturesque Greek island with white-washed buildings and stunning sunsets...', // Destination description
    language: 'English', // Target language for keywords
    max_quantity: 10, // Maximum number of keywords
    voice_tone: 'Romantic' // Tone to capture the dreamy ambiance of Santorini
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$keywords = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

[
    "Santorini", "Greek Islands", "romantic getaways", "Mediterranean", "scenic views", "sunset destinations", "white-washed buildings", "luxury travel", "Aegean Sea", "island paradise"
]

Use Case Example: Capturing Attention on Social Media and Search Engines

For travel agencies, OTAs, and marketing teams, SharpAPI’s Keywords & Tags Generator simplifies the process of creating SEO-ready tags that highlight a destination’s unique charm. Imagine using keywords like “Aegean sunsets” or “luxury escapes” in ads, social media posts, and meta tags, creating a cohesive and targeted marketing approach that attracts more relevant traffic.

Pro Tip: Combine this with SharpAPI’s Summarize Text for compelling descriptions that are both keyword-optimized and concise. This powerful pairing ensures your travel content is highly discoverable, readable, and aligned with user search behaviors—ultimately helping destinations reach the right audience with the right message.

9. Polished Travel Content: Proofreading & Grammar Checker for Guides

When showcasing a destination, clarity and precision in language are essential. SharpAPI’s Proofread & Grammar Checker elevates your travel content by catching typos, fixing grammar issues, and enhancing readability. Whether you’re crafting a comprehensive guide to Barcelona’s top sights or a detailed itinerary for a mountain trek, this service ensures the content is polished, professional, and ready for publication.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$guideContent = 'Top 10 Things toDo in Barcelona from histric landmarksto bustling markets.Make the most of you\'r visit withthese essential tips!';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::proofread(
    content: $guideContent // Travel guide content to be proofread
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$proofreadContent = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

    "proofread": "Top 10 Things to Do in Barcelona from historic landmarks to bustling markets. Make the most of your visit with these essential tips!"

Pro Tip: Pair this with Keywords & Tags Generator to add relevant tags post-proofreading. This combination not only perfects the language but also optimizes content for search engines, boosting both discoverability and readability.

10. Keeping Travel Forums Spam-Free: Intelligent Spam Detection

Travel forums and social platforms are where travelers connect, share advice, and inspire others. But nothing ruins the vibe like spam posts pushing unrelated deals or unsolicited ads. SharpAPI’s Spam Detector steps in to help moderators keep these spaces authentic and clean by identifying spam with high precision. This tool analyzes forum posts, comments, and even reviews to flag spammy content, allowing moderators to take swift action.

AI Processing Request Example (PHP)

$forumPost = 'Check out these amazing discount flights...';
$statusUrl = \SharpApiService::detectSpam(
    content: $forumPost // Forum post or comment text to analyze
);

$result = \SharpApiService::fetchResults($statusUrl);
$spamAnalysis = $result->getResultJson();

JSON Result Example

{
    "pass": false,
    "score": 80,
    "reason": "The content is likely spam due to unsolicited outreach, a generic tone, and a call-to-action for discounts without specifics."
}

Use Case Example: Elevating Forum Quality and User Trust

By implementing SharpAPI’s spam detection, travel forums, and social communities can maintain a high standard of content quality. Imagine a platform where users confidently interact without wading through irrelevant ads or suspicious links. This keeps discussions valuable, reduces user frustration, and builds trust within the community.
