The Lingo API is designed to allow you to access your content programmatically to import, export or validate your data. In this guide we will cover what you can do with the API and how to get started.
API access is available for all spaces on the Plus or Enterprise plans. API access is enabled by creating an API token. You may need to upgrade your space to do this.
API access requires an API token. Tokens grant access to all of the content in your space including kits, pages, assets and all files. Keep your tokens safe!
Space admins can create a token on the settings page for the desired space. All tokens are read-only by default but write access can be enabled after creation. Tokens can also be named for your reference.
Deleting a token is permanent. Once deleted, any code using that token will fail to authenticate.
There are currently two ways to interact with the API: a JavaScript library and the underlying REST API. The JavaScript library is a wrapper around the REST API and provides a more convenient way to interact with the API. The REST API is a more direct way to interact with the API and is useful if you are using a language besides JavaScript.
Both the JavaScript library and the REST API are documented in this guide. The JavaScript library includes additional functionality that may not be available in the REST API directly.
