Implementation Guide

Language Detection is also integrated into the Classifier to assist in identifying potential spam.

To use language detection directly in your applications or services, simply call the POST /v1/language endpoint with the text you want to analyze:

POST /v1/language
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "text": "What language is this?"
}

Example response:

{
  "languages": [
    {
      "language": "en",
      "probability": 0.999
    }
  ],
  "time": 1.289
}
