Weblate’s REST API#

The API is accessible on the /api/ URL and it is based on Django REST framework. You can use it directly or by Weblate Client.

Authentication and generic parameters#

The public project API is available without authentication, though unauthenticated requests are heavily throttled (by default to 100 requests per day), so it is recommended to use authentication. The authentication uses a token, which you can get in your profile. Use it in the Authorization header:

ANY /#

Generic request behaviour for the API, the headers, status codes and parameters here apply to all endpoints as well.

Query Parameters:

  • format – Response format (overrides Accept). Possible values depends on REST framework setup, by default json and api are supported. The latter provides web browser interface for API.

  • page – Returns given page of paginated results (use next and previous fields in response to automate the navigation).

Request Headers:

  • Accept – the response content type depends on Accept header

  • Authorization – optional token to authenticate as Authorization: Token YOUR-TOKEN

Response Headers:
Response JSON Object:

  • detail (string) – verbose description of the result (for HTTP status codes other than 200 OK)

  • count (int) – total item count for object lists

  • next (string) – next page URL for object lists

  • previous (string) – previous page URL for object lists

  • results (array) – results for object lists

  • url (string) – URL to access this resource using API

  • web_url (string) – URL to access this resource using web browser

Status Codes:

Authentication tokens#

Changed in version 4.10: Project scoped tokens were introduced in the 4.10 release.

Each user has his personal access token which can be obtained in the user profile. Newly generated user tokens have the wlu_ prefix.

It is possible to create project scoped tokens for API access to given project only. These tokens can be identified by the wlp_ prefix.

API rate limiting#

The API requests are rate limited; the default configuration limits it to 100 requests per day for anonymous users and 5000 requests per hour for authenticated users.

Rate limiting can be adjusted in the settings.py; see Throttling in Django REST framework documentation for more details how to configure it.

In the Docker container this can be configured using WEBLATE_API_RATELIMIT_ANON and WEBLATE_API_RATELIMIT_USER.

The status of rate limiting is reported in following headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit

Rate limiting limit of requests to perform

X-RateLimit-Remaining

Remaining limit of requests

X-RateLimit-Reset

Number of seconds until ratelimit window resets

Changed in version 4.1: Added ratelimiting status headers.
