Crowdin JavaScript client

The Crowdin JavaScript client is a lightweight interface to the Crowdin API v2 that works in any JavaScript environment, including web browsers, workers in web browsers, extensions in web browsers or desktop applications, Node.js etc. It provides common services for making API requests.

Our API is a full-featured RESTful API that helps you to integrate localization into your development process. The endpoints that we use allow you to easily make calls to retrieve information and to execute actions needed.

For more about Crowdin API v2 see the documentation.

Installation

npm

npm i @crowdin/crowdin-api-client

yarn

yarn add @crowdin/crowdin-api-client

Quick Start

Typescript

import crowdin, { Credentials } from '@crowdin/crowdin-api-client';

// credentials
const credentials: Credentials = {
  token: 'personalAccessToken',
  organization: 'organizationName' // optional
};

// initialization of crowdin client
const { projectsGroupsApi } = new crowdin(credentials);

// get project list
projectsGroupsApi.listProjects()
  .then(projects => console.log(projects))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

// You can also use async/wait. Add `async` keyword to your outer function/method
async function getProjects() {
  try {
    const projects = await projectsGroupsApi.listProjects();
    console.log(projects);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

Or specific API instances:

import { Credentials, ProjectsGroups } from '@crowdin/crowdin-api-client';

// credentials
const credentials: Credentials = {
  token: 'personalAccessToken',
  organization: 'organizationName' // optional
};

// initialization of ProjectsGroups
const projectsGroupsApi = new ProjectsGroups(credentials);

// get project list
projectsGroupsApi.listProjects()
  .then(projects => console.log(projects))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

Javascript

import crowdin from '@crowdin/crowdin-api-client';

// initialization of crowdin client
const { projectsGroupsApi } = new crowdin({
  token: 'personalAccessToken',
  organization: 'organizationName' // optional
});

// get project list
projectsGroupsApi.listProjects()
  .then(projects => console.log(projects))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

// You can also use async/wait. Add `async` keyword to your outer function/method
async function getProjects() {
  try {
    const projects = await projectsGroupsApi.listProjects();
    console.log(projects);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

Or specific API instances:

import { ProjectsGroups } from '@crowdin/crowdin-api-client';

// initialization of ProjectsGroups
const projectsGroupsApi = new ProjectsGroups({
  token: 'personalAccessToken',
  organization: 'organizationName' // optional
});

// get project list
projectsGroupsApi.listProjects()
  .then(projects => console.log(projects))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

You can generate Personal Access Token in your Crowdin Account Settings.

List of projects with Fetch API

In addition if you use client in non-Node.js environment you might have a troubles with http calls. This client uses axios which internally uses http and https Node modules. So there is an option to use http client based on Fetch API.

import { ProjectsGroups, HttpClientType } from '@crowdin/crowdin-api-client';

const projectsGroupsApi = new ProjectsGroups(credentials, {
  httpClientType: HttpClientType.FETCH
});

Or even pass your own http client as httpClient property which should implement HttpClient interface.
