The webservice takes the following arguments:

text*

The input text

kaf [true | false]

Output a KAF file with the language in the xml:lang attribute and the text in the raw tag

Use the extended language list instead of the standard languages

callbacks

You can provide a list of callback urls. If you provide callback urls the language identification will run as a background job and a callback with the results will be performed (POST) to the first url in the callback list. The other urls in callback list will be provided in the "callbacks" argument.

Using callback you can chain together several OpeNER webservices in one call. The first, will call the second, which will call the third, etc. See for more information the webservice documentation online.

error_callback

URL to notify if errors occur in the background process. The error callback will do a POST with the error message in the 'error' field.
