ArtenoAPI: Translation, Geolocation, QR Codes, and More in One API

As a web developer, I’ve often faced challenges when choosing APIs for various features in my projects. While the process isn't overly complicated, it can still be time-consuming and frustrating. Thus, I decided to create ArtenoAPI, which is a multi-functional API, can reduce this hassle.

Currently, ArtenoAPI is available exclusively on RapidAPI, and I wanted to share it with you all here.


What Can ArtenoAPI Do?

ArtenoAPI supports various features, including:

  • Translation:

    Supports translation between 230+ languages with advanced features like auto language detection and batch translation.

  • IP Geolocation:

    Retrieves location and network data for any IP address in a well-structured format.

  • QR Code Generation:

    Generate high-quality QR codes with error correction levels, available in SVG or Base64 formats.

  • HTML to Markdown:

    Convert HTML code to Markdown with a variety of customization options.

  • Markdown to HTML:

    Useful for blog-like websites handling user posts and comments by converting Markdown to HTML.

  • And More...

    From keyword extraction to sentiment analysis, ArtenoAPI offers many tools to simplify your development workflow.


Why Choose ArtenoAPI?

  • All-in-One Solution:

    It provide a set of functions, reducing the hassle of implementing different APIs.

  • Cost-Effective:

    It has a free plan, and paid plans are cheaper in price.

  • Ease of Use:

    ArtenoAPI is beginner-friendly, with a clear documentation, and similar-structured responses in all endpo

  • Continuous Updates:

    New features will be added in the future, taking user feedback ans suggestions into account.

  • Free Plan Available:

    There is a free plan available which makes it risk-free to test the ArtenoAPI.


How to Get Started

  1. First, sign in to your RapidAPI account, or create a new account if you don't have one.
  2. Search for "ArtenoAPI" in the search bar, or visit this link: https://rapidapi.com/codemasterunited/api/artenoapi
  3. Subscribe to the free plan, and then you will get an API key which will be used in the request authorization. (Note: RapidAPI do not need any credit card information to subscribe to the free plan, so rest assured.)
  4. Below is an example of using the API key to translate a simple 'Hello World' string to Spanish, using requests module in Python.

Example: Translating Text

Below is a simple example of translating text with ArtenoAPI, via Python's request module:

import requests

url = "https://artenoapi.p.rapidapi.com/translate"

payload = {
    "source_text": "Hello World",
    "source_language": "en",
    "target_language": "es"
}
headers = {
    "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "x-rapidapi-host": "artenoapi.p.rapidapi.com",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)

print(response.json())
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key, and the response would look like this:

{
    "status": "success",
    "data": {
        "translations": [
            {
                "source_text": "Hello World",
                "translation": "Hola Mundo",
                "source_language": "en",
                "target_language": "es"
            }
        ]
    },
    "message": "Translation has been completed successfully."
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This is the usual response structure, except for errors.

Additional Tools

RapidAPI provides a request playground to experiment with endpoints. You can test various endpoints (features) and get ready to use code snippets in different programming languages.

Complete documentation is available here.


Final Thoughts:

While I can’t guarantee ArtenoAPI will suit everyone’s needs, I hope it may be useful for many developers. Your opinions and suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks for reading till end, and I hope you’ll give ArtenoAPI a try! 😊

Tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are great for providing advice for front end performance issues. But what these tools can’t do, is evaluate performance across your entire stack of distributed services and applications.
