Textkernel Service

.NET Core service to send CVs to Textkernel's Extract service.

Contact Textkernel to access their CV Extract API.

This serialises the result to .NET structured objects, see Model.

Startup Injection

To add this service:

// Don't hard code these - use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets?tabs=visual-studio
string address = $"https://{textkernelService}";
string account = "your account";
string username = "your username";
string password = "your secret password";

services.AddTextkernelParser(address, account, username, password);

Using the CV Parsing Service

Then this service is available as ITextkernelParser, for instance as a Web API action:

[HttpPost("parseCV")]
public async Task<IEnumerable<Profile>> ParseCV(
    [FromServices] ITextkernelParser parser,     // Get the parser from the injected services 
    [FromForm] IEnumerable<IFormFile> files) // CV files posted from an HTML form
{
    var result = new List<Profile>();
    foreach (var f in files)
    {
        if (f.Length == 0)
             continue;

        using (var s = new MemoryStream())
        {
            await f.CopyToAsync(s);
            var parsed = await parser.Parse(s.ToArray(), f.FileName);
            result.Add(parsed);
        }
    }

    return result;
}
