# Delx Language Script Detect

> Delx Language Script Detect is a paid API for AI agents from api.delx.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Detects the dominant Unicode script families (e.g. Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Han) present in a caller-supplied text sample

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 delx-language-script-detect-fcec4177 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you detect which Unicode script family dominates this text: 'Привет мир, это тест'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you already hold a text string and need a fast, stateless, deterministic classification of its Unicode script family — particularly useful in multilingual NLP pipelines, content routing, pre-processing for translation or OCR, and RAG chunking workflows. Prefer over language-detection APIs when you specifically need script/writing-system identification rather than spoken language detection, and when you want a local, zero-retention computation at very low cost.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace-only text input returns ambiguous or null script result
- Highly mixed-script input may return multiple families without a clear dominant result
- Very short inputs (single characters) may produce low-confidence classifications
- Non-UTF-8 encoded bytes passed as string may cause parse errors
- Exceeding input size limits may result in truncation or rejection

## How this service works

Detect dominant Unicode script families in a text sample — call when detecting dominant Unicode script families. Use on text/URLs the agent already holds—adjacent to high-volume extract demand, never advertised as general web or X search. Returns deterministic machine-readable JSON for $0.003 USDC via x402 on Base. Execution is first-party, local-only, stateless, and memory-only with no paid upstream, no input retention, and no claim of live chain tip, web search, or media generation. Results a…

## Output

Returns a deterministic machine-readable JSON object identifying the dominant Unicode script family or families detected in the input text, along with distribution or confidence signals for each script present.
