Getting Started

The first step to start working with the Straker Translation API is to get a Straker Account ID, to do this simply fill in the form on the Sign Up page. When you sign up you will get an email with your account ID and you can then start sending API requests into the system. 

Request URL's

There are 2 request URL's to send in requests, a sanbox (testing) URL and a live URL that you will use when sending in real jobs. 

Sandbox Domain: sandbox.strakertranslations.com 
Production Domain: api.strakertranslations.com

Web Based Testing Platform

You can quickly test the API without writing any code using the web based testing platform. 

Web Based Admin Dashboard

You can also manage and view jobs and their progress through our online admin dashboard.

How it works in a few bullet points

• You submit your job using the "create" API method and you receive a job_key in the response
• You use the "get" API method to check on the status of your job so you can get a quote for the translation
• If you are happy with the quote you use the "approve" API method to approve the job
• Once the job is complete a callback is made to notify you that the job is ready to be picked up
• You use the "get" API call this time to get the translated content
