What this pulls
Name the language of any snippet by the row. Returns the language, extension and family — Google Sheets or Excel.
It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 10 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

A real example — the input you type, and the values you can pull from it. Click any cell to see the formula behind it.
a = 5
b = 6
c = 7
# calculate the semi-perimeter
s = (a + b + c) / 2
# calculate the area
area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5

Ways to use it
One value per row
Fill =VERVE("codedetector", "a = 5"&CHAR(10)&"b = 6"&CHAR(10)&"c = 7"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the semi-perimeter"&CHAR(10)&"s = (a + b + c) / 2"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the area"&CHAR(10)&"area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5"&CHAR(10)&"print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)", "field", "current") down a column and Detect Code Language returns a result for every row — a batch of live values in a single drag, no code.
Enrich data in place
Add Detect Code Language beside a table you already have to append its output right where your data lives, then sort, filter, or chart on it.
Stays fresh on its own
Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and the detect code language values keep themselves current without anyone re-typing.
Use it in your sheet
The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.
Google SheetsAdd-on
Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.
fx=VERVE("codedetector", "a = 5"&CHAR(10)&"b = 6"&CHAR(10)&"c = 7"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the semi-perimeter"&CHAR(10)&"s = (a + b + c) / 2"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the area"&CHAR(10)&"area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5"&CHAR(10)&"print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)", "field", "current")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in
Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.
fx=VERVE.CALL("codedetector", "a = 5"&CHAR(10)&"b = 6"&CHAR(10)&"c = 7"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the semi-perimeter"&CHAR(10)&"s = (a + b + c) / 2"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the area"&CHAR(10)&"area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5"&CHAR(10)&"print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)", "field", "current")
Fields you can pull
Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans
Detect Code Language, answered
Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.
How do I pull Detect Code Language into Google Sheets?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("codedetector", "a = 5"&CHAR(10)&"b = 6"&CHAR(10)&"c = 7"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the semi-perimeter"&CHAR(10)&"s = (a + b + c) / 2"&CHAR(10)&""&CHAR(10)&"# calculate the area"&CHAR(10)&"area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5"&CHAR(10)&"print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)", "field", "current") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.
What data can I pull from Detect Code Language?
Detect Code Language returns current, readable and extension — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.
Which Detect Code Language fields need a paid plan?
likelihood, family, paradigm and isCompiled are included from the Starter plan up. On the Free plan the cell returns #PREMIUM(field) rather than a wrong or empty value, so it's always obvious which one to upgrade for. Every other field works on Free.
Can I fill a whole column of Detect Code Language at once?
Yes. Put your code values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.
How many credits does each Detect Code Language cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 10 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.
Does Detect Code Language work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
