What is the best language detection library or web api available? [even paid]

First of all, I have a lot of text available. Say I have 10,000 characters for each attempt. The script is based on php, but I can use whatever I want. C ++, java, no problem.

Cannot use google goi language: their usage restrictions are small.

I have 6 hours when I try to speak with something more, but not yet. Can someone point me to my best chance?

There is a language detection API that provides both free and premium services.

It accepts text through GET or POST and provides JSON results with evaluations.

Java based tools:

Apache Tika : not all "language profiles", but you can add them yourself

public String detectLangTika(String text) throws SystemException { LanguageIdentifier li = new LanguageIdentifier(text); if (li.isReasonablyCertain()) return li.getLanguage(); else throw new Exception("Tika lang detection not reasonably certain"); }

language-detection : A lot of language profiles are great for me.

  DetectorFactory.loadProfile(new File(LangDetector.class.getClassLoader().getResource("profiles").toURI())); public String detectLangLD(String text) throws SystemException { Detector detector; String lang; try { detector = DetectorFactory.create(); detector.append(text); lang = detector.detect(); } catch (LangDetectException e) { throw new SystemException("LangDetector Failure", e); } return lang; }

The most accurate tool was the Google API lang discovery , which was discontinued and replaced by the paid Google Translate API.

A little late, but I wrote this library (and I am implementing a free API service without any restrictions).

You can use Rosoku. It discovers 230 different languages. You can try it through Amazon AWS Market at Rosoka Cloud

You pay for the time you use.

There is another freemium API here: language detection API

You can easily check the endpoints on this page.

it accepts GET and POST requests (for longer input) and has a JSON response with this structure:

 { language: "eng", isReliable: "true", confidence: "0.9979894639898946" }

Disclaimer: I provide this API.

I would recommend using languagelayer.com , they offer a free RESTful JSON API web service that can detect about 170 languages. Batch requests are also offered.

The GET API request (POST welcomed) looks something like this:

 https://apilayer.net/api/detect ? access_key = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY & query = I like apples and oranges

And here is the JSON answer:

 { "success": true, "results": [ { "language_code": "en", "language_name": "English", "probability": 83.896703655741, "percentage": 100, "reliable_result": true } ] }

5,000 monthly requests are free, if you need more (like I did), then the cheapest subscription is $ 4.99 per month for 50,000 requests. (More info here )
