How to get the authentication key
Before using the API you need to create the account and then generate the API key at the bottom of the page. You must use this authorization key to authorize requests.

Installation
You can install the library with PyPI using pip:

pip install lingvanex
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Requirements
Python version >= 3.6
Requests module version >= 2.0

Getting the list of languages
To retrieve the list of languages, perform a GET request with the authentication key as follows:

import requests

url = "https://api-b2b.backenster.com/b1/api/v3/getLanguages?platform=api&code=en_GB"

headers = {"accept": "application/json"}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

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

Options:

  • url: https://api-b2b.backenster.com/b1/api/v3/getLanguages
  • platform: api

  • Authorization: The key must be obtained in advance

  • code: the language code in the format “language code_code of the country”, which is used to display the names of the languages. The language code is represented only in lowercase letters, the country code only in uppercase letters (example en_GB, es_ES, ru_RU etc). If this option is not present, then English is used by default.

Translate
This POST method translates text and HTML single string or arrays with the authentication key. Also it performs transliteration, language auto detection.

import requests

url = "https://api-b2b.backenster.com/b1/api/v3/translate"

payload = {
    "platform": "api",
    "from": "en_GB",
    "to": "de_DE",
    "data": "Some text",
    "translateMode": "html",
    "enableTransliteration": True
}
headers = {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "content-type": "application/json"
}

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

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

Options:

  • url: https://api-b2b.backenster.com/b1/api/v3/translate
  • platform: api
  • Authorization: The key must be obtained in advance
  • from: the language code in the format “language code_code of the country” from which the text is translated. The language code is represented only in lowercase letters, the country code only in uppercase letters (example en_GB, es_ES, ru_RU and etc.). If this parameter is not present, the auto-detect language mode is enabled.
  • to: language code in the format “language code_code of the country” to which the text is translated (required)
  • data: data for translation.
  • translateMode: Describe the input text format. Possible value is "html" for translating and preserving html structure. If value is not specified or is other than "html" than plain text is translating.
  • enableTransliteration: If true response includes sourceTransliteration and targetTransliteration fields.
