Code Detection vs Sentiment Analysis
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.
MeaningCloud's Sentiment Analysis API performs multilingual, aspect-based sentiment analysis of text from surveys, social media, and reviews, distinguishing polarity, irony, and fact from opinion at the document or aspect level. Access is authenticated with a license key issued on signup, with a free plan (tens of thousands of monthly credits) alongside paid Professional/Business/Enterprise tiers.

Sentiment Analysis is freemium, while Code Detection is paid — Sentiment Analysis is the cheaper way in.
