Lilt REST API API Reference
The Lilt REST API enables programmatic access to the full-range of Lilt backend services including:
- Training of and translating with interactive, adaptive machine translation
- Large-scale translation memory
- The Lexicon (a large-scale termbase)
- Programmatic control of the Lilt CAT environment
- Translation memory synchronization
Requests and responses are in JSON format. The REST API only responds to HTTPS / SSL requests.
Authentication
Requests are authenticated via REST API key, which requires the Business plan.
Requests are authenticated using
HTTP Basic Auth. Add your REST API key as both the username and password.
For development, you may also pass the REST API key via the key query parameter. This is less secure than HTTP Basic Auth, and is not recommended for production use.

Upload a File
Upload a File in any of the formats documented in our knowledge base. Request parameters should be passed in as query string parameters.
Example CURL command:
curl -X POST https://lilt.com/2/files?key=API_KEY&name=en_US.json \
--header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
--data-binary @en_US.json
Calls to GET /files are used to monitor the language detection results. The API response will be augmented to include detected language and confidence score.
The language detection will complete asynchronously. Prior to completion, the detected_lang value will be zxx, the reserved ISO 639-2 code for "No linguistic content/not applicable".
If the language can not be determined, or the detection process fails, the detected_lang field will return und, the reserved ISO 639-2 code for undetermined language, and the detected_lang_confidence score will be 0.
The file contents to be uploaded. The entire POST body will be treated as the file.
A file name.
A hash value to associate with the file. The MD5 hash of the body contents will be used by default if a value isn't provided.
Flag indicating whether to perform language detection on the uploaded file. Default is false.
The project to associate the uploaded file with.
The category of the file. The options are REFERENCE, or API. The default is API. Files with the REFERENCE category will be displayed as reference material.
Comma-separated list of labels to add to the uploaded document.

Pretranslate a Document
Initiate pretranslation of a list of Documents. This request will mark document(s) as being pretranslated. Pretranslation in this context is:
- Applying and confirming exact TM matches based on the Memory of the Project;
- Translating all other segments via MT without confirming them.
Example CURL command:
curl -X POST https://lilt.com/2/documents/pretranslate?key=API_KEY -d {"id": [123]} -H "Content-Type: application/json"
Document translation is an asynchronous process that, in effect, is performed in the background.
To check the status of pretranslation for a document, use the GET
/documents endpoint. When pretranslation is in progress for a document, the GET /documents endpoint's response will include is_pretranslating
= true as well as a more detailed status property status.pretranslation one of idle, pending, or running.
Once pretranslation is finished, the document can be downloaded via GET
/documents/files.

Memories
Create a Memory
Create a new Memory. A Memory is a container that collects source/target sentences for a specific language pair (e.g., English>French). The data in the Memory is used to train the MT system, populate the TM, and update the lexicon. Memories are private to your account - the data is not shared across users - unless you explicitly share a Memory with your team (via web app only).
Refer to our KB for a more detailed description.

Export a Job
Prepare job files for download. To export translated documents from the job use the query parameter type=files:
Example CURL command:
curl -X GET 'https://lilt.com/2/jobs/{id}/export?key=API_KEY&type=files'
To export job memories use the query parameter type=memory.
The status of the export can be checked by requesting the job GET /jobs/:jobId, job.isProcessing will be 1 while in progress, 0 when idle and -2 when the export failed.

Retrieve a Project
Retrieves one or more projects, including the documents associated with each project. Retrieving a project is the most efficient way to retrieve a single project or a list of all available projects.
To retrieve a specific project, specify the id request parameter. To retrieve all projects, omit the id request parameter. To limit the retrieved projects to those with a particular source language or target language, specify the corresponding ISO 639-1 language codes in the srclang and trglang request parameters, respectively.
A unique Project identifier.
