About

The Detect Language API identifies the language of any text you provide. It currently supports more than 50 languages.
Using this API can help automate text processing and save time when handling large volumes of content. It’s useful in industries like social media, advertising, learning and development, and any scenario where understanding user-generated content is essential.
The API can also help improve security and compliance by detecting text written in unauthorized languages. This is particularly valuable in financial and legal industries, where regulations often require the use of specific languages.
Try it now in our API playground: detect languages easily, reduce errors, and save time with a simple API call.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
