Language Detection API

The Language Detection API allows developers to detect the language of a given text input. It uses advanced Natural Language Processing techniques to accurately identify the language, even for short or ambiguous inputs. The API utilizes HTTP requests and returns the detected language code in a format that can be easily integrated into various applications.

About the API:

 

The Language Detection API is a tool that uses machine learning algorithms to automatically identify the language of a given piece of text. The API can process a wide variety of text input, including short phrases, sentences, and full documents, and it can detect a wide range of languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and many others.

To use the API, developers send an HTTP request to a specified endpoint, including the text to be analyzed as well as any necessary authentication information. The API then processes the text and returns a response indicating the detected language, along with a confidence score. The confidence score reflects the API's level of certainty in its detection, and can be used to determine how likely it is that the detection is accurate.

The Language Detection API can be integrated into a wide range of applications, including natural language processing, machine translation, and text-to-speech systems. It can also be used to automatically classify text data, such as social media posts or customer feedback, by language, making it easier to understand and analyze.

Some benefits of this API:

  • Real-time processing
  • Support multiple languages
  • It works with a wide range of text input
  • High level of accuracy
  • Easy to integrate

The Language Detection API is generally easy to use and can be integrated into various software platforms, including web and mobile apps, making it a useful tool for businesses and organizations of all types that need to process and analyze large amounts of text data in multiple languages.

 

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

Pass the text that you want to recognize its language from, and receive the prediction. 

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

  1. Machine Translation: One of the most common use cases for the Language Detection API is in machine translation systems. By automatically detecting the source language of a given piece of text, the API can ensure that the text is translated into the correct target language.

  2. Text-to-Speech Systems: Another use case for the Language Detection API is in text-to-speech systems. The API can be used to detect the language of a given piece of text, and then the text-to-speech system can use the appropriate voice and pronunciation for that language.

  3. Social Media Monitoring: The Language Detection API can be used to automatically classify and filter social media posts by language. This can be useful for businesses and organizations that need to monitor social media activity in multiple languages.

  4. Customer Service: In customer service applications, the Language Detection API can be used to automatically route customer inquiries to the correct agent based on the language used in the inquiry.

  5. Search Engine Optimization: Search engines can use the Language Detection API to automatically identify the language of a web page, which can improve the page's ranking and relevance for users searching in that language.

  6. Content Curation: Platforms that curate content from different sources could use Language Detection API to sort the content by language, so users can access the information in their own language. This is particularly useful when the platform has a global audience.

 

Are there any limitations to your plans?

Besides API call limitations per month, there are no other limitations.

Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.

Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]

Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.

The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.

Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]

Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.

API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.

Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.

To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.

To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, refer to the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ field in the response header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this field in the response header will indicate 900 remaining calls.

To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ response header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.

The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.

Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.

You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]

To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
