Hi all,

I've got a question and I don't know where to ask for help. I hope posting it in the newcomer's forum will help get me pointed in the right direction. So here it is:

'I'm working on a project where we compare the various dependencies in a project we've scanned to the eclipse community's projects; if we get a match we don't need to do the same level of legal checking to make sure the dependency is ok to use. Currently we use the "https://projects.eclipse.org/json/projects/all" API to get this information. Here's the problem: we recently found an example that had the same name and license as a what one of the eclipse community projects but was a different project entirely (we noticed it was in a different language). After seeing this we decided we should add "has the same language as the eclipse project" to our requirements but he API data doesn't list the language(s) the project was written in. Is there any way to get this if with an API call?"

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
