Swift / iOS 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.

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.
