Create an API that takes a text as an input and returns the sentiment score.
Here is an example of a simple API that takes a text as an input and returns the sentiment score using Python and Flask.

```python
from flask import Flask, jsonify, request
from textblob import TextBlob

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/sentiment', methods=['POST'])
def sentiment():
    data = request.get_json()
    text = data.get('text')
    if not text:
        return jsonify({'error': 'Missing text parameter'})
    blob = TextBlob(text)
    sentiment_score = blob.sentiment.polarity
    return jsonify({'sentiment_score': sentiment_score})

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()
```

This API uses the TextBlob library to calculate the sentiment polarity of the given text. The sentiment polarity is a float within the range [-1.0, 1.0] where -1.0 represents a negative sentiment and 1.0 represents a positive sentiment.

The API has one endpoint, `/sentiment`, which accepts `POST` requests. The request body needs to contain a JSON object with a `text` key, which holds the text to analyze. The response is a JSON object with a `sentiment_score` key, which holds the calculated sentiment score. If the `text` parameter is missing, the response will contain an `error` key with an error message.

To use this API, you need to run this script on a server and send `POST` requests to the `/sentiment` endpoint with a JSON body containing the text to analyze. For example:

```
POST http://<server_url>/sentiment
Content-Type: application/json
{
    "text": "I love this product"
}
```

The response will be a JSON object with the sentiment score:

```
{
    "sentiment_score": 0.5
}
```

This is a simple example to illustrate how an API that calculates the sentiment of a text could work. You can expand this API with additional features, such as custom sentiment analysis algorithms or support for multiple languages.
