There actually are other APIs, though with a smaller scope. For text extraction for example there is the OnDemand Api, https://dev.havenondemand.com/apis/ocrdocument#overview https://dev.havenondemand.com/apis/ocrdocument#overview, backed by HP. They also have logo detection. I'd be surprised if no replacement for the category detection exists.
Though I admit I also hesitate to replace that API with the google offering for the one app where I actually use it. The results would probably be better, but I just got burned again from stuff shutting down, and I remember Google Reader.
But the Vision Api looks cool.
- jfoster 11y agoI feel like there's a lot of scope for big companies to make commitments to do the right thing by developers building on top of their services. Stripe, for example, have a data portability clause where (subject to some conditions) they'll move customer data to other payment processors at your request. Funnily enough, that's the type of commitment that will make me never want to leave Stripe.

- coleca 11y agoI will throw ours into the ring as well. If you need to understand emotional reaction on video sources, our API can fill in the gaps not currently filled by Google's Cloud Vision API: https://www.kairos.com/emotion-analysis-api https://www.kairos.com/emotion-analysis-api Disclosure: I'm CTO of Kairos.com
- joshvm 11y agoClarifai are quite a big name in the classification field and that's pretty much all their API does.
