It is possible to detect language of several texts with one request. This method is faster than doing one request per text.

detectlanguage.detect_batch(["Dolce far niente", "Hello world"])

Result

Result is array of detections in the same order as the texts were passed.

[[{'language': 'it', 'score': 0.5074}], [{'language': 'en', 'score': 0.9098}]]
