## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability axon-language-detection-7e2a8aed
```

Example prompt: Can you detect what language this text is written in: 'Bonjour, comment allez-vous aujourd'hui?'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, fast language identification step within a broader crypto/AI pipeline already using Axon, especially when you want to combine language detection with other Axon capabilities like translation or sentiment analysis in a single service. Best for lightweight per-call use cases given the $0.01 USDC micropayment model.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing text input may return an error or undefined language
- Very short text (single character or word) may result in low-confidence or incorrect detection
- Mixed-language text may return only the dominant language
- Rare or minority languages may not be recognized and could return a fallback
- Payment failure (x402 micropayment not authorized) will block the request

## How this service works

Axon provides AI-powered crypto intelligence endpoints covering token research, market analysis, contract auditing, sentiment tracking, news summarization, portfolio advice, deep research, text translation, language detection, SEO content generation, and contract explanation. All analytical endpoints require x402 micropayment on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the original input text, the detected language name in English (e.g. 'English', 'Spanish', 'French'), and the ISO 639-1 language code (e.g. 'en', 'es', 'fr')
