API Authentication

You must have an account with Language IO to access your API Key and use the API. For more information, see Creating an account in the Language IO Self-Service Portal.

Language IO uses header authentication. To use the API, you need a POST request to the endpoint URL, with a x-api-key header that you populate with your API key. Here is a cURL example:

curl -X POST https://agw.golinguist.com/linguistnow/resources/v1/translate -H "x-api-key: {your API key here}"

Important: You must include the x-api-key header in every request to authenticate it.
Note: This example is only to illustrate header auth, and does not contain the payload that would be required in a full request. To see how to include payloads in your requests, see the documentation of the API endpoints.

If you are an existing Language IO customer

If you already use a Language IO product (for example, one of Language IO's CRM integrations) and you want to start using the API, you do not need to create a new account. Instead, submit a support request to get you API key.

Once your API key is created, you can view and refresh it in the Language IO Self-Service Portal.
