Response

These are the fields included in the response document

Name Description
status

Contains information about the extraction process and whether it has finished successfully. It is formed by a status code (code), a natural number that identifies the result, and a message (msg), a string describing the result. In addition, the field (credits) contains a natural number that indicates the credits consumed in the request and (remaining_credits) shows the number of credits left to the user to get to the credit limit.

You can find all the possible status codes returned by the API with an explanation and tips on how to manage them in our error codes catalog.

In general, a request is any HTTP request done to the API to analyze less than 500 words. If the text sent is longer than that, then it will be considered that more than a request is made, more specifically, as many requests as we would need if the text were divided in chunks of 500 words.

In the case of the Language Identification API, as it serves auxialiary purposes, one requests consumes one credit.

language_list

  • language: language detected using the code defined by the ISO639-1 standard.
  • relevance: relevance value associated to it.
  • name: name of the language.
  • iso639-3: three letter code of the ISO639-1 standard.
