            string key = "paste_your_key_here";

            var client = new TextAnalyticsClient(new Uri(url), new AzureKeyCredential(key));

            DocumentSentiment mood = client.AnalyzeSentiment("It's a nice day!");
            Console.WriteLine("Mood: {0}", mood.Sentiment );
            Console.WriteLine("Positive: {0}", mood.ConfidenceScores.Positive);
            Console.WriteLine("Neutral: {0}", mood.ConfidenceScores.Neutral);
            Console.WriteLine("Negative: {0}", mood.ConfidenceScores.Negative);
            Console.ReadKey();
