=VERVE("codedetector", "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 print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)")

Name the language of any snippet by the row. =VERVE("codedetector", A2) 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.

One value per row

Fill =VERVE("codedetector", "var test = '';") 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.

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.

=VERVE("codedetector", "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 print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)")
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.

=VERVE.CALL("codedetector", "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 print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)")

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 a spreadsheet?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("codedetector", "var test = '';") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.
How many credits does each Detect Code Language cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 10 credits. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.
Can I fill a whole column at once?
Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Detect Code Language at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("codedetector", "var test = '';") down like any spreadsheet function.
Does Detect Code Language work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.
How current is the data?
Detect Code Language is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Detect Code Language is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Put Detect Code Language in your next spreadsheet. Add the extension, paste the formula, and the cell keeps itself current.
