openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: TextSetu API
  version: 1.2.0
  description: >-
    Public REST API for TextSetu. Authenticate with a Personal Access Token
    (tsu_pat_…) or a project token (tsu_proj_…) via the `Authorization: Bearer
    <token>` header.


    **Authorization is permission-based.** Every token carries an explicit
    allow-list of RBAC permission keys (e.g. `translation_read`), and each
    endpoint declares the permission it requires (`x-permission`). A token's
    effective access is its underlying authority ∩ its allow-list — a PAT is
    further bounded by its owner's role-based permissions, so it can only
    narrow, never exceed, what the owner already has. A project token is bound
    to a single project. There are no coarse read/write/manage scopes.


    **Response envelope.** Every endpoint returns `{ "success": true, "data": …
    }` on success and `{ "success": false, "error": { "code", "message" } }` on
    failure.


    **Rate limit.** 600 requests/minute, keyed by token (or by IP when
    unauthenticated). Exceeding it returns 429 with the standard error envelope.

    description: >-
      Read project metadata — settings, key separator, and the
      approval/branching flags that shape how the other endpoints behave.
  - name: Languages
    description: >-
      List and manage a project's target languages. Each language is referenced
      by its BCP-47 code; the source language is flagged separately.
  - name: Translations
    description: >-
      Manage a project's translations: create, read, update, and delete
      translation keys — the identifiers your app looks up, carrying metadata
      (description, tags, screenshot) — and set the translated value for a key
      in a given language. Value writes honor the project's approval workflow —
      non-approver writes land as `pending_review`.
  - name: Stats
    description: >-
      Per-language completeness and approval progress for a project — the
      numbers behind the dashboard.
  - name: Import/Export
    description: >-
      Bulk-load source files into a project or export the current translations.
      Supports the same file formats as the web app.
  - name: Branches
    description: >-
      Work on translations in isolation and merge them back. Branch reads/writes
      mirror the main endpoints but stage changes as a diff until merge. See the
      [branching guide](/docs/guides/branches).
  - name: Glossary
    description: >-
      Manage term bases — approved terminology and its translations — and check
      a string against them. See the [glossary guide](/docs/guides/glossary).
  - name: Translation Memory
    description: >-
      Reusable translation stores. Fuzzy-match and concordance-search prior
      translations to reuse them. See the [translation memory
      guide](/docs/guides/translation-memory).
  - name: AI
    description: >-
      Machine-translate a project with the org's configured AI engine (brand
      voice, glossary/TM grounding, and an optional review pass). Runs
      asynchronously — start a run and poll the returned `jobId`.
  - name: Webhooks
    description: >-
      Get notified when a project's translations change, instead of polling.
      Register an HTTPS endpoint, subscribe it to the events you care about, and
      TextSetu POSTs a signed payload whenever one occurs. Payloads follow the
      [Standard Webhooks](https://www.standardwebhooks.com) spec — verify the
      `webhook-signature` header with any compatible library. Delivery is
      at-least-once and unordered, so treat `webhook-id` as an idempotency key.
      Failed deliveries are retried five times over roughly seven hours, and
      every attempt is inspectable and replayable via the delivery log.
