# Look up glossary terms

> Find the glossary terms that occur in one or more source strings, with their approved translations. Batched: pass every source string and every target language in one call.

Each match carries `doNotTranslate`, `caseSensitive` and `usageStatus` (`preferred` / `deprecated` / `forbidden`) so a translator — or an agent generating a translation — can honor terminology rules.

**Constraints:**
- Returns an empty object when the glossary feature is disabled for the org or the project.
- At most 100 source texts and 50 languages per request.
- Matching is whole-word where the term has word boundaries, substring otherwise (CJK/Thai).



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi/textsetu.json post /projects/{projectId}/glossary/lookup
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: >-
      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.
