About

This Utility API allows you to detect the language from the provided text.
This API can help automate data processing tasks by identifying the language of large volumes of text data. This can be especially useful in industries such as social media monitoring or online advertising, where understanding the language of user-generated content is essential. This can also help to prevent security breaches by detecting text that is written in an unauthorized language. This can be especially useful in the financial or legal industries, where compliance regulations require the use of specific languages.
Currently we support more than 50 languages.
Supported Languages: Esperanto, English, Russian, Mandarin, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Bengali, French, German, Ukrainian, Georgian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish, Javanese, Korean, Bokmal, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Turkish, Dutch, Hungarian, Czech, Greek, Bulgarian, Belarusian, Marathi, Kannada, Romanian, Slovene, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Tamil, Vietnamese, Urdu, Thai, Gujarati, Uzbek, Punjabi, Azerbaijani, Indonesian, Telugu, Persian, Malayalam, Hausa, Oriya, Burmese, Bhojpuri, Maithili, Oromo, Kurdish, Malagasy, Saraiki, Nepali, Sinhalese, Khmer, Turkmen, Somali, Akan, Zulu, Haitian Creole, Uyghur, Africaans

Authentication

All 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 workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to applications.
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.
