LIWC API
The LIWC API is available exclusively from Receptiviti. It provides researchers, data scientists, and developers with an easy-to-use API that delivers insights into people’s psychologies and cognitive states by analyzing their use of natural language.
Invented by Receptiviti co-founder, Prof. James W. Pennebaker, LIWC is the preeminent language psychology analysis framework through which thousands of researchers have established strong links between linguistic patterns, personality and psychological states.

Receptiviti retains the global exclusive commercial rights to LIWC.
