An interesting project from an open source legal tech effort called Open Legal, this project packages the popular [LexNLP NLP library](https://opensource.legal/projects/LexNLP) into a microservice that can be deployed to cloud infrastructure and easily integrated with non-Python software stacks. Their live demo will let you test the API yourself, so you can evaluate it prior to deploying it on your own infrastructure. If you're looking for some kind of API to analyze legal text, this is well worth a look.

Open Source:	Yes
Paid Support:	No
API:	REST
