Bash / Unix Shell Tone Checker

Bash / Unix Shell tone checker quickstart

Send text to the tone endpoint. The response ranks overall tones and returns a separate probability breakdown for every sentence.

No language-specific SDK is required. The example uses a standard or commonly used HTTP client to call Sapling's JSON API.

Bash / Unix Shell /api/v1/tone

: "${SAPLING_API_KEY:?Set SAPLING_API_KEY first.}"

curl --fail-with-body \
  --request POST \
  --url https://api.sapling.ai/api/v1/tone \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${SAPLING_API_KEY}" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "text": "Really stoked about this! Will it be ready by next week?"
  }'

Example response application/json

{
  "overall": [
    [0.9247, "curious", "🤓"],
    [0.0455, "excited", "😀"],
    [0.0057, "confused", "😕"]
  ],
  "results": [
    [[0.9937, "excited", "😀"]],
    [[0.5469, "confused", "😕"], [0.3993, "curious", "🤓"]]
  ],
  "sents": [
    "Really stoked about this!",
    "Will it be ready by next week?"
  ]
}

Probabilities are returned in descending order as probability, tone, and emoji tuples. Use sentence results when a message contains mixed tones.
