About Classifier Dev
classifier.dev is a zero shot text classification API served over plain HTTP. A caller sends text and a list of labels and gets back a label with a confidence score, with no training data required; the same service also answers structured questions about images and can scrape a public URL and classify its content. Free use needs no account or API key, so a single curl request with labels and text in the URL returns a result immediately.
It is built for developers and coding agents that need quick categorisation of feedback, tickets, snippets or articles. A command line tool sorts a file of up to a thousand lines per request and can surface only low confidence rows for review. A skill installs into agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, and an OpenAPI 3.1 description and llms.txt index are published. The underlying model is called Jev; a Smart tier re asks only the answers Jev was unsure about, and the site publishes its own benchmark results on public test sets.
