Basic Language Detection API

What it does

Language Detection identifies the language of text you send in q and returns the detected language with a confidence score. It works with a single string or an array of strings, so you can classify one snippet or batch multiple texts in one request.

Use Language Detection when you need to route incoming support messages, auto-select translation targets, or sort multilingual content before downstream processing. The response stays compact: each result includes only the detected language label and its confidence value.

Send raw text in q and read back the language prediction for each item. If you pass an array, the response is shaped as an array of result arrays, matching the input batch structure.

This is a fit for apps that ingest user-generated content, analytics pipelines that need language grouping, and localization workflows that need a quick language check before translation or moderation.

  -H "x-rapidapi-proxy-secret: $APY_TOKEN"

What you'll get back

Returns a JSON array of objects. Each object includes a code string and a name string, describing one supported language; additional properties may also be present.

POST

Detect language for text

http://localhost:8080/dosvak/basic-detect-language

QUICKSTARTGUIDE

Quickstart

Detect the language of a piece of text by sending it as q in the JSON body.

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8080/dosvak/basic-detect-language" \
  -H "apy-token: $APY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"q":"Hello, how are you today?"}'

What you'll get back

Returns a JSON array. Each item is an object with a language string and a confidence number. Some responses may be a nested array of those same objects, as allowed by the schema.

[
  {
    "language": "en",
    "confidence": 0.99
  }
]
