Getting access
Accessing the LanguageWire Project API requires a set of authentication credentials, also known as tokens, that you must use with each request.
- These credentials can come in different forms depending on the type of authentication that is required by the specific account your are using, either a sandbox or a production one.
- All credentials can be generated from the Dashboard.
Sandbox account
If you want to get familiar with our Project API you can start using a predefined sandbox account which is linked to a test company account with live-like dummy data (template).
You don't need an active Platform account, you just need to generate and use a temporal access token.
Keep in mind that:
- The temporal token expires after 20 minutes.
- Data is public and your projects under the test company are visible to other sandbox users.
- All the information is wiped off after 24 hours.
👉Follow the quick guide to get dummy results in less than 5 minutes.
Production account
If you want to use your own data on your translation projects, use a production account. For that, you must meet some prerequisites beforehand:
- You must be registered as a LanguageWire user.
- Log in to our Platform via the Dashboard.
- Create your live applications.
- Generate your apps credentials.
