FAQ
How do I use the Google Translate API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/google/translate with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Google Translate API cost?
$0.01 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.
What parameters does the Google Translate API accept?
Required: text (string), from (string) and to (string). Optional: json_restrictor (string). The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
