MyMemory: API technical specifications

Quick Start

These API allowes you to search and insert translations into MyMemory. This is a SOAP web service. Download example code for a simple get/match call here: Word Macro (VBA), .NET C#

Note: We also have an API for on-demand human translation services.

Methods Exposed

WSDL: http://mymemory.translated.net/otms/?wsdl

• otmsGet (Key As String, q As Query) As getResponse
  Gets translations for your string from MyMemory
• otmsInsert (Key As String, i As Insert) As insertResponse
  Inserts segment and translation into MyMemory

Demo Key: mmDemo123

Supported Standards

• SOAP query: example SOAP query XML
• SOAP insert: example SOAP insert XML
• POST URL: http://mymemory.translated.net/otms/
• Development Key: calulate a unique key to query your private memories key-generator
