Two steps to your first translated document

Get your API key from the dashboard, make your first call, and start translating documents in minutes.

  1. Create an API key

    From your dashboard, under API keys. Keys are prefixed with taurai_ and shown once, so store it somewhere safe.

  2. Call the translate endpoint

    Pass the key as a bearer token in theAuthorization header. The example below sends English and asks for Shona.

curl -X POST https://backend.taurai.ai/api/v1/translate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer taurai_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "text": "Your court date is March 15, 2025",
    "source": "en",
    "target": "sn"
  }'
