"Enrich Data by Webservice with HTTP Header"

NamSor

In the tutorial 'RapidMiner to enrich Gender data', the API does not require authentication:

But (say you would like to use Mashape or some other auth method) how do you specify an API Key HTTP Header in the RapidMiner Webservice operator?

Thanks!

If you put the header information in the Request Properties area, that should do the trick.

Has anyone managed to solve this issue?

I found the same/similar question on StackExchange and I wrote a question (specific to mashape) on this forum but no answer yet..
I'm now trying to pass OAuth parameters to the Twitter API but had no luck in passing the right header format despite various different attempts

Anyone who can help with this? It's driving me crazy!  >:(

Hi,

You no longer need to worry about HTTP headers, as you can now use NamSor Onomastics Extension (from RapidMiner MarketPlace). Tutorial here
http://blog.namsor.com/2014/09/10/video-tutorial-how-to-extract-the-gender-of-personal-names-using-rapidminer/

There are currently two operators,
Gender : to infer the likely gender of a personal name;
Origin : to infer the likely origin of a personal name.

Best,

Looking forward to your talk at RapidMiner world.
