The Lingo API lets you programmatically access and manage your Assets, enabling custom integrations and automated workflows.

The Lingo API is available on the Business and Enterprise plans.

What you can do with the API

The Lingo API provides access to:

  • Assets - Search, retrieve, and download Assets

  • Kits - Access Kit structure and contents

  • Metadata - Read Tags, Custom Fields, and other Asset information

Who should use the API

The API is useful for:

  • Developers building custom integrations

  • Teams automating asset workflows

  • Organizations connecting Lingo to other systems

Before you start

To use the API, you'll need:

  1. API credentials - Generated from your Space settings

  2. Technical knowledge - Familiarity with REST APIs and JSON

Getting your API credentials

  1. Go to your Space settings

  2. Navigate to the API or Integrations section

  3. Generate a new API token

  4. Store your token securely—it won't be shown again

Important: Keep your API token secure. Anyone with your token can access your Space's data.

Once you have your credentials, you can make requests to the API. See the authentication guide for details on how to authenticate your requests.
