Overview

Welcome to the documentation of the Wordbee Translator API, version 2. It is a web-based API to retrieve and update information in Wordbee Translator.

A key difference compared to version 1 of the API is that API credentials can be created individually per user. Credentials inherit the access rights (or profile) of the users. You can create dedicated API users to allow different people or systems to interact with the API and within a defined framework of rights.

This API is work in progress and new methods are added every month. You can find the change history here.

• Asynchronous operations — Operations that take more time to execute are most often executed "asynchronously" i.e. in the background. With such operations your API call either immediately returns the final result (if the operation was very quick) or it returns the ID of the operation if executing in the background. The status can then be polled in regular intervals.
