# API

This page gives a few examples of how to use the Tatoeba API.

## For one sentence

To retrieve sentence number 1:

    https://tatoeba.org/eng/api_v0/sentence/1

## Search results

### Search: "Canadian" (not an exact match, so also matches "Canadians")
from: **eng**
to: **jpn**
list: **907**
translations: **direct only**

    https://tatoeba.org/eng/api_v0/search?from=eng&list=907&query=Canadian&trans_filter=limit&trans_link=direct&trans_to=jpn&to=jpn

### Search: "Boston"
from: **eng**
to: **jpn**
audio: **yes**
sort: **by creation date**
translations: **direct and indirect**

    https://tatoeba.org/eng/api_v0/search?from=eng&trans_filter=limit&query=Boston&sort=created&has_audio=yes&trans_to=jpn&to=jpn

### Search: "=play" (exact match)
from: **eng**
to: **jpn**
list: **907**
sort: **words**
translations: **direct only**

    https://tatoeba.org/eng/api_v0/search?from=eng&list=907&query=%3Dplay&sort=created&trans_filter=limit&trans_link=direct&trans_to=jpn&to=jpn


### Other

To figure out how to make a call to the API, perform an advanced search, then change the first part of the URL from this:

    https://tatoeba.org/en/sentences

to this:

    https://tatoeba.org/eng/api_v0

For instance, if you use the advanced search interface to select English sentences without audio that contain the word "those", you will see that the URL looks like this:

    https://tatoeba.org/en/sentences/search?from=eng&has_audio=no&native=&orphans=no&query=those&sort=relevance&sort_reverse=&tags=&to=&trans_filter=limit&trans_has_audio=&trans_link=&trans_orphan=&trans_to=&trans_unapproved=&trans_user=&unapproved=no&user=

Change the first part of the URL in order to produce this URL that can be called against the API:

    https://tatoeba.org/eng/api_v0/search?from=eng&has_audio=no&native=&orphans=no&query=those&sort=relevance&sort_reverse=&tags=&to=&trans_filter=limit&trans_has_audio=&trans_link=&trans_orphan=&trans_to=&trans_unapproved=&trans_user=&unapproved=no&user=

## Paging

You can use the count and perPage in the paging information to find out how many pages are contained in the search results. For instance, the following call:

    https://dev.tatoeba.org/eng/api_v0/search?from=eng&list=907&query=Canadian&trans_filter=limit&trans_link=direct&trans_to=jpn&to=jpn&page=2

will produce the following result:

    "paging": {
      "Sentences": {
        "finder": "all",
        "page": 2,
        "current": 8,
        "count": 18,
        "perPage": 10,
        "start": 11,
        "end": 18,
        "prevPage": true,
        "nextPage": false,
        "pageCount": 2,
        "sort": null,
        "direction": null,
        "limit": null,
        "sortDefault": false,
        "directionDefault": false,
        "scope": null,
        "completeSort": []
    }
  },



The relevant properties are:

 - `page`: current page
 - `current`: number of items displayed in the current page
 - `count`: total number of results
 - `perPage`: number of results per page

To find the number of pages in total, divide `count` by `perPage` and round up to the nearest integer.
