ai.text.detect-language

Detect intent from text.

Basic usage

To detect language of a text, send a POST request to Intento API at https://api.inten.to/ai/text/detect-language. Specify the source text and the desired provider in JSON body of the request as in the following example:

curl -XPOST -H 'apikey: YOUR_API_KEY' 'https://api.inten.to/ai/text/detect-language' -d '{
    "context": {
        "text": "Hello, I would like to take a class at your University.",
    },
    "service": {
        "provider": "ai.text.detect-language.microsoft.text_analytics_api.2-1"
    }
}'

The response contains the detect-language results:

{
    "results": [
        [
            {
                "language": "en",
                "confidence": 1
            }
        ]
    ],
    "meta": {},
    "service": {
        "provider": {
            "id": "ai.text.detect-language.microsoft.text_analytics_api.2-1",
            "name": "Microsoft Text Analytics API"
        }
    }
}

The detect-language intent supports bulk requests for providers with such capability (right now only ai.text.detect-language.microsoft.text_analytics_api.2-1):

curl -XPOST -H "Trace: true" -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" "https://api.inten.to/ai/text/detect-language" -d '
{
  "context": {
    "text": ["Hallo Welt!", "Hello world"]
  },
  "service": {
    "provider" : "ai.text.detect-language.microsoft.text_analytics_api.2-1"
  }
}'

Each segment language is detected separately:

{
    "results": [
        [
            {
                "language": "de",
                "confidence": 1.0
            }
        ],
        [
            {
                "language": "en",
                "confidence": 1.0
            }
        ]
    ],
    "meta": {},
    "service": {
        "provider": {
            "id": "ai.text.detect-language.microsoft.text_analytics_api.2-1",
            "name": "Microsoft Text Analytics API"
        }
    }
}

Getting available providers
