Detect Language API

About Detect Language API

Language Detection API identifies the language of a submitted text sample and returns the language name, ISO 639-3 code, ISO 639-1 code, writing script, and a confidence score. Input is a text string sent in a request body, with a minimum length of 50 characters required so the detector has enough context to classify short or ambiguous phrases. Output is returned as a structured JSON data object containing the language, code, iso_code, script, and confidence fields.

The API is a single POST endpoint, hosted by ApyHub, at version 1.0.0. It is intended for developers who need to classify the language of incoming text, such as content from forms, support tickets, feeds, or imported documents, in order to route it through downstream systems like translation pipelines, search localization, or language-specific moderation and processing rules.
