linguin 1.1.0

API wrapper for the language detection as a service Linguin AI.

Linguin AI Python wrapper

This is a Python wrapper for the Linguin AI API (see API docs) providing Language Detection as a Service.

Linguin AI is free for up to 100 detections per day. You can get your API key here.

Installation

pip3 install linguin

Usage

Get started with just a few lines of code:

from linguin import Linguin

# go to https://linguin.ai to get your key
linguin = Linguin("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

response = linguin.detect("test")

response.is_success
# >> True

response.result
# >> {'results': [{ 'lang': 'en', confidence: 1.0 }, ...]}

If anything goes wrong for example: empty query string:

response = linguin.detect(" ")
    
response.is_success
# >> False
   
print(response.error)
# >> Error code: 400. The language of an empty text is more of a philosophical question.

response.error.status
# >> 400

response.error.message
# >> The language of an empty text is more of a philosophical question.

If you prefer to handle exceptions instead:

response = linguin.detect(" ", raise_on_error=True)
# >> raises LinguinInputError

See the list of all exceptions here.

Bulk detection

To detect the language of multiple texts with one API call, you can pass them as an array to the bulk method. The results will be returned in the same order as the texts. All texts have to not be empty.

response = linguin.bulk(["test", "Bahnhof", "고마워요"])

response.is_success
# >> True

response.result
# >> [{'results': [{'lang': 'en', 'confidence': 1.0}, ...]}, {...}, ...]

Account status

You can fetch the status of your account:

response = linguin.status()

response.result
# >> {'daily_limit': 50000, 'detections_today': 4500, 'remaining_today': 45500}
# for unlimited usage we return -1

Language list

You can fetch the list of supported languages:

from linguin import Linguin

languages = Linguin.languages()
# >> { 'de': ["German", "Deutsch"], ... }

Development

After checking out the repo, run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies. Run tests with python3 -m unittest
