The /v2/write/correct endpoint fixes spelling and grammar errors in one or more texts with minimal changes to wording, matching the “Corrections Only” mode in the DeepL Translator UI. It does not accept writing_style or tone and does not rephrase sentences for clarity. The broader /v2/write/rephrase endpoint supports those parameters.
