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
andapi
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:
Authorization – optional token to authenticate as
Authorization: Token YOUR-TOKEN
- Response Headers:
Content-Type – this depends on Accept header of request
Allow – list of allowed HTTP methods on object
- 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:
200 OK – when request was correctly handled
201 Created – when a new object was created successfully
204 No Content – when an object was deleted successfully
400 Bad Request – when form parameters are missing
403 Forbidden – when access is denied
429 Too Many Requests – when throttling is in place
Authentication tokens#
Changed in version 4.10: Project scoped tokens were introduced in the 4.10 release.
Each user has a 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.
Authentication examples#
Example request:
GET /api/ HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: application/json, text/javascript
Authorization: Token YOUR-TOKEN
Example response:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK

"components":"http://example.com/api/components/",
"translations":"http://example.com/api/translations/",
"languages":"http://example.com/api/languages/"
}
CURL example:
curl \
-H "Authorization: Token TOKEN" \
https://example.com/api/
Passing Parameters Examples#
For the POST method the parameters can be specified either as form submission (application/x-www-form-urlencoded) or as JSON (application/json).
Form request example:
POST /api/projects/hello/repository/ HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization: Token TOKEN
operation=pull
JSON request example:
POST /api/projects/hello/repository/ HTTP/1.1

Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Token TOKEN
Content-Length: 20
{"operation":"pull"}
CURL example:
curl \

http://example.com/api/components/hello/weblate/repository/
CURL JSON example:
curl \
--data-binary '{"operation":"pull"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Token TOKEN" \
http://example.com/api/components/hello/weblate/repository/
Components and categories#
To access a component which is nested inside a Category, you need to URL
encode the category name into a component name separated with a slash. For
example usage
placed in a docs
category needs to be used as
docs%252Fusage
. Full URL in this case would be for example
https://example.com/api/components/hello/docs%252Fusage/repository/
.
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:
|
Rate limiting limit of requests to perform |
|
Remaining limit of requests |
|
Number of seconds until ratelimit window resets |
Changed in version 4.1: Added ratelimiting status headers.
