Django test
This test will help you assess and improve your skills in the areas of Django, APIs and UI.
Context
Day by day journalists are flooded with a huge amount of textual information from various sources. As it is incredibly time consuming to view and categorize each text manually, an automatic categorization by news topic should be implemented. This way journalists should be able to filter the vast amounts by topic to reduce the information to relevant topics only. It is planned to stick to a standardized taxonomy – the IPTC Mediatopics: https://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/mediatopic/. Textrazor offers an API to automatically extract the relevant topics from a given text document that seem to be well suited for the use case. A small tool should be provided to easily test the quality of the API with some of the journalists. The tool should provide a text field to paste any given text. After pressing a button the text should be analyzed by Textrazor and the returned mediatopics clearly displayed on the website.
