Features

Data usePut your data to use

Predict future trends using historical data. Route messages, detect spam and recommend products for users by using Prediction API. Google’s powerful infrastructure analyzes the data for you.

FastFast and reliable

Your data is replicated across multiple data centers using Cloud Storage. Most prediction queries take less than 200ms. Greater performance is available. See the documentation for performance tips.

Cloud integrationCloud integration

Google services are designed to work together. Use results from Google BigQuery or pull in datasets of up to 2.5GB from Cloud Storage to create a predictive model. Use Prediction API directly from Google App Engine.

Dev toolsPowerful development tools

Prediction API can integrate with App Engine, and the RESTful API is available through libraries for many popular languages, such as Python, JavaScript and .NET. See the documentation for the full list.
