# Summarize Text or Documents

To generate summaries for text or documents, send a `Summarize` action to the IDOL Content component that includes the `Summary` parameter. Set the `Summary` parameter to the type of summary to generate (`Concept`, `Quick`, `ParagraphConcept`, or `Concepts`).

To generate a summary for text, identify the text in the `Text` parameter. To generate a summary for one or more documents, identify them in the `ID` or `Reference` parameters.

For example:

    action=Summarize&ID=30&Summary=Concept

This action generates a concept summary from the content of the document with the ID `30`.
