API description

About the API: 

The Text Readability Metrics API is a powerful tool for developers and content creators who want to evaluate the readability of written content. This API computes a set of readability metrics for a given text, including the Automated Readability Index, Coleman-Liau Index, Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level, Flesch Reading Ease, Gunning-Fog Index, SMOG score, and SMOG Index.

The Automated Readability Index (ARI) is a metric that measures the readability of a text by taking into account the average number of words per sentence and the average number of characters per word. The resulting score indicates the grade level required to understand the text.

The Coleman-Liau Index is a metric that measures the readability of a text by taking into account the average number of characters per word and the average number of sentences per 100 words. The resulting score indicates the grade level required to understand the text.

The Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level is a metric that measures the readability of a text by taking into account the average number of words per sentence and the average number of syllables per word. The resulting score indicates the grade level required to understand the text.

The Flesch Reading Ease is a metric that measures the ease of reading a text by taking into account the average number of words per sentence and the average number of syllables per word. The resulting score indicates how easy or difficult it is to understand the text.

The Gunning-Fog Index is a metric that measures the readability of a text by taking into account the average number of words per sentence and the percentage of words that have three or more syllables. The resulting score indicates the grade level required to understand the text.

The SMOG score and index are metrics that measure the readability of a text by taking into account the number of polysyllabic words in the text. The resulting score indicates the grade level required to understand the text.

The Text Readability Metrics API is easy to use, with simple REST API calls that return JSON-formatted results. Developers can use this API to evaluate the readability of written content, such as articles, essays, or blog posts. This can help content creators target specific audiences, improve the overall readability of their content, and provide a better user experience for readers.

Overall, the Text Readability Metrics API is a valuable tool for developers and content creators who want to evaluate the readability of written content. With its support for a variety of readability metrics, this API can help developers create intelligent applications that can understand the complexity and readability of written content, making it easier for users to access and understand information.

curl --location --request POST 'https://zylalabs.com/api/1820/text+readability+metrics+api/1481/get+metrics?text=The word logorrhoea is often used pejoratively  to describe prose that is highly abstract and  contains little concrete language. Since abstract  writing is hard to visualize, it often seems as though  it makes no sense and all the words are excessive.  Writers in academic fields that concern themselves mostly  with the abstract, such as philosophy and especially  postmodernism, often fail to include extensive concrete  examples of their ideas, and so a superficial examination  of their work might lead one to believe that it is all nonsense.' --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
