GitHub - detectlanguage/detectlanguage-go: Detect Language API Go Client (original) (raw)

Detect Language API Go Client

Detects language of the given text. Returns detected language codes and scores.

Before using Detect Language API client you have to setup your personal API key. You can get it by signing up at https://detectlanguage.com

Installation

go get -u github.com/detectlanguage/detectlanguage-go@v2.0.0

Configuration

dl := detectlanguage.New("YOUR API KEY")

Usage

Language detection

detections, err := dl.Detect(context.TODO(), "Dolce far niente")

if err != nil { fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "error detecting language:", err) os.Exit(1) return }

fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Language:", detections[0].Language) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Score:", detections[0].Score)

Single language code detection

If you need just a language code you can use DetectCode. It returns first detected language code.

language, err := dl.DetectCode(context.TODO(), "Dolce far niente")

if err != nil { fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "error detecting language:", err) os.Exit(1) return }

fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Language:", language)

Batch detection

It is possible to detect language of several texts with one request. This method is significantly faster than doing one request per text. To use batch detection just pass multiple texts to DetectBatch method.

texts := []string{"labas rytas", "good morning"} results, err := dl.DetectBatch(context.TODO(), texts)

if err != nil { fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "error detecting language:", err) os.Exit(1) return }

fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "First text language:", detections[0][0].Language) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Second text language:", detections[1][0].Language)

Getting your account status

result, err := dl.AccountStatus(context.TODO())

if err != nil { fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "error getting account status:", err) os.Exit(1) return }

fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Status:", result.Status) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Requests sent today:", result.Requests) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Bytes sent today:", result.Bytes) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Plan:", result.Plan) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Plan expires:", result.PlanExpires) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Daily requests limit:", result.DailyRequestsLimit) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Daily bytes limit:", result.DailyBytesLimit) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Date:", result.Date)

Getting list supported languages

languages, err := dl.Languages(context.TODO())

if err != nil { fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "error getting languages list:", err) os.Exit(1) return }

fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "Supported languages:", len(languages)) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "First language code:", languages[0].Code) fmt.Fprintln(os.Stdout, "First language name:", languages[0].Name)
