CTRL+F is an NLP (Natural Language Processing) API to find and replace named entities.

Use the Python client:

>>> import ctrlf as find
>>> find.food('one apple, two pears, three plums', replace='<i>{text}</i>', token='…').json()

{'matches': […], 'result': 'one <i>apple</i>, two <i>pears</i>, three <i>plums</i>'}

Or query the API directly:

$ curl -X GET https://ctrlf-prod.herokuapp.com/food \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer …' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{"text": "one apple, two pears, three plums", "replace": "<i>{text}</i>"}'

{"matches": […], "result": "one <i>apple</i>, two <i>pears</i>, three <i>plums</i>"}
