# Prism Audience Language API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/prism/audience-language)

> Pass platform (tiktok, instagram or youtube) and handle. The response is the language mix of comments on the creator's recent posts: Hangul, Kana, Thai and Han are read from the script, and Latin-script comments are classified with a closed list that includes cannot_tell. Each language is a share with n, how many were counted, how many were abstained, a 90% interval, and up to three verbatim comments. A share whose interval is wider than 0.25 has no headline number. On TikTok the follower sample from the audience call and the location field on one follower page sit beside that mix, each with its own n. The result is a language, never a country. A divergence flag is set only when both sides have at least 200 rows and the main language does not match the main follower country. posts is 1 to 5 and defaults to 5.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/prism/audience-language` costs Floor 2 credits (one YouTube post: the channel list plus one comment page). Each further comment page is 1 credit, or 5 on Instagram, up to 5 posts. TikTok also opens the audience sample (5) and one follower page (1). Unopened pages are refunded. Five Instagram posts is 26 credits. and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
