Language Detection API

We offer automatic language detection trough an Application Programming Interface (API). This API distinguishes 23 European languages (please see list below) in real-time with a 99,98% accuracy, independent of message length.

Using this API, you can have messages automatically annotated with their language. This includes messages posted by you, as well as scraped web-pages, news articles and/or social media postings obtained trough our other API's (read more about API nesting). Language detection is a neccesary step for sentiment analysis and demographics estimation.

Supported Languages

This API is able to distinguish among the following languages with 99,98% accuracy:

Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Estonian, Finish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithianian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish

Unknown languages are classified as "unknown".
