Sure @jordan Lee, It would really help me

Sure :) But a heads-up first: please make sure you're willing to spend a bit of time learning AWS Lambda + API gateway and check that it's relevant to your needs. I don't want to accidentally send you down the wrong path if there's a better way to do it.

Anyway, here's the repo: github.com/jkhaui/serverless-pytho...

Use the command npm i serverless -g to install the serverless framework globally.
Clone the repo I sent you and follow instructions. Run serverless offline to edit your Python script locally. Test the API at localhost:4000
If all goes well, use serverless deploy to host it on AWS Lambda. An endpoint URL should also be created automatically through API gateway.

Any questions/problems, let me know. Also, you'll be prompted for your AWS credentials at some point during these steps

Oh and btw, you can delete all the Spacy code in handler.py and also delete the directory en_core_web_sm-2.1.0. That's just for demo purposes.

Put your Python script in handler.py. This is the code that will let your script be accessed as an API:

    response = {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'headers': {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
        },
        'body': json.dumps(entities)
    }

    return response
