Code Detection vs Google Cloud Natural

Code Detection API from Runtime (an APILayer joint product) identifies whether a string is natural language or programming code, then classifies which language it's written in and extracts structural metadata about it. It targets developer tools and data pipelines that need to auto-label mixed code/prose content, authenticated with a per-account API key and secret issued from the Runtime Developer Console.

Google Cloud Natural Language analyzes syntax, entities, and sentiment in text using the same machine-learning models that power Google's own products, callable via a straightforward API-key-authenticated REST interface. It includes a free monthly usage tier before per-unit billing applies to higher volumes.
