## 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 manylives-ai-language-detector-4362cd82 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What language is this text written in — '¿Dónde está la estación de tren?' — and how confident are you?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call language detection call with no account setup, especially in agentic or automated pipelines on Base network where micro-payments via x402 are already in use. Suitable for single-text, real-time classification needs where cost per call ($0.003 USDC) is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Very short texts (1-2 words) may produce low confidence or ambiguous results
- Mixed-language texts may only identify the dominant language
- Constructed or synthetic languages may not be recognized
- Texts near the 20,000 character limit may be truncated or rejected
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance will block the call

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

A JSON object containing the ISO language code (e.g. 'es'), the writing script (e.g. 'Latin', 'Cyrillic'), the full language name (e.g. 'Spanish'), and a confidence score between 0 and 1 indicating how certain the detection is.
