New user? Follow these quick steps to get started with the DeepL API.

Sign up for the API

Visitour plans page, choose a plan, and sign up.

If you already have a DeepL Translator account, you will need to log out and create a new account for the DeepL API.

Step 2: Test your API key with a request

Find your API keyhere.Then try making a simple translation request in one of these ways:

cURL or an HTTP request
withour client libraries forPython,JavaScript,PHP,.NET,Java, orRuby
in our playground
in Postman

If you use the sample code below, be sure to replace{YOUR_API_KEY} with your own API key.

If you chose a free API plan and you are writing cURL or HTTP requests, replacehttps://api.deepl.com withhttps://api-free.deepl.com.

Sample request

POST /v2/translate HTTP/2Host: api.deepl.comAuthorization: DeepL-Auth-Key [yourAuthKey]User-Agent: YourApp/1.2.3Content-Length: 45Content-Type: application/json{"text":["Hello, world!"],"target_lang":"DE"}

Sample response

{  "translations": [    {      "detected_source_language":"EN",      "text":"Hallo, Welt!"    }  ]}

Step 3: Keep building with our client libraries and how-to guides

Our official client libraries let you use the API with six popular programming languages -Python,JavaScript,PHP,.NET,Java, orRuby. The DeepL community hascontributed client libraries for other languages, includingDart,Go, andRust. You may also wish to check outthese examples and guides.
