This package is designed to detect a language from a character string in R by acessing the languagelayer API — https://languagelayer.com/

## Language layer API

This package offers a language detection tool by connecting to the languagelayer API, a JSON interface designed to extract language information from a character string.

## Install languagelayerR

From CRAN :

    install.packages("languagelayeR")

From Github :

    devtools::install_github("ColinFay/languagelayeR")

## How languagelayeR works

The version 1.1.0 works with two functions. Which are :

- `get_lang` Get language information from a character string

- `get_supported_lang` Get all current accessible languages on the languagelayer API

## First of all

Before any request on the languagelayer, you need to get your API key from your language layer dashboard.

## Examples

### getLanguage

Detect a language from a character string.

    get_lang(query = "I really really love R and that's a good thing, right?", api_key = "your_api_key")

### getSupportedLanguage

List all the languages available on the languagelayer API.

    get_supported_lang(api_key = "your_api_key")
