Crowdin API Documentation

The pages below give all the information needed to get started with Crowdin API. There is documentation with examples of project, file, workflow management and other using simple REST calls.


How to integrate Crowdin with my deployment process?

The Crowdin API uses a RESTful style using XML over HTTP. For HTTP requests GET or POST methods. Listed below are all the available API methods, which allows you to create projects in Crowdin, add and update files, download translations or integrate localization with your development process.

Making requests

For every API request you make, you'll need to present the API access key as the main URI parameter to be authenticated. The authentication API key can be found on the project settings page - the "API" tab. Keep the API key secret! It should be guarded just as you would your regular account password.
