pangu.space

Paranoid text spacing for good readability, to automatically insert whitespace between CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and half-width characters (alphabetical letters, numerical digits and symbols).

• pangu.go (Go)
• pangu.java (Java)
• pangu.js (JavaScript)
• pangu.py (Python)
• pangu.space (Web API)

Usage

Current APIs:

• https://api.pangu.space/v1/spacing-text?t=YOUR-TEXT

$ curl https://api.pangu.space/v1/spacing-text -G --data-urlencode "t=當你凝視著bug，bug也凝視著你" -H "x-api-key: TiEeVInyGza4ta0kougRH4MBBfdGe2Q91TjrbQLm" -w "\n"
當你凝視著 bug，bug 也凝視著你

in Python:

import requests

r = requests.get('https://api.pangu.space/v1/spacing-text?t=當你凝視著bug，bug也凝視著你', headers={'x-api-key': 'TiEeVInyGza4ta0kougRH4MBBfdGe2Q91TjrbQLm'})
print(r.content.decode('utf-8'))
# 當你凝視著 bug，bug 也凝視著你

You must request the API with a HTTP header x-api-key: TiEeVInyGza4ta0kougRH4MBBfdGe2Q91TjrbQLm. Yeah, you are free to use the API key for accessing the service. Although it has a quota of 100000 requests per month.

Development

pangu.space is built on AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway. I use Apex to manage and deploy Lambda functions.

# deploy all functions
$ apex deploy

# view logs
$ apex logs -f

# invoke a function directly
$ apex invoke spacing_text --logs
{
    "statusCode": 400,
    "headers": null,
    "body":"{\"message\": \"No text was provided in HTTP query string\"}"
}

# invoke a function with an API Gateway event
$ cat fixtures/spacing_text_event.json
{
    "queryStringParameters": {"t": "與PM戰鬥的人，應當小心自己不要成為PM"}
}
$ apex invoke spacing_text --logs < fixtures/spacing_text_event.json
{
    "statusCode": 200,
    "headers": {"content-type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8"},
    "body": "與 PM 戰鬥的人，應當小心自己不要成為 PM"
}
