Using the OpenCalais API for Suggested Tags

It is possible to use the OpenCalais API with the TaxoPress plugin. When the API is working correctly, it can automatically suggest terms for your WordPress posts. This is part of the “Suggested Terms” feature in TaxoPress.

The TaxoPress team is not responsible for the quality of results from OpenCalais. Please also note that registering for an API key can be a complex and confusing process. We’ll do our best to walk you through the steps. Getting an API key requires registering at one site and using those login details for a second site.
