Format of the Sources ? Translation through WC API ?

nabil.hassoumi

Hello,I have two questions concerning Sources and Translation:

• In which format do we get the sources via the
  API ?
• Are
  we able to do the translation on the flow of the information through the
  API (like with the Web access)?

Best Regards

I think you are referring to the attribute "webLinks" which is called Sources in WC1 UI.

Sources tab in UI displays a list of links that may potential negative news about the entity. The Sources tab in UI is provided in the array "webLinks" in the API.

For the first question, webLinks in API is an array which contains three fields in it. Please find the format of each attribute below:

"caption" : string

"tags": <string> array

"uri": string

For your second question, the links provided in the API do not re direct to World Check which happens in the UI which gives the WC1 UI the capability to translate the content. API just displays the link and the user has to extract the link from the API response and open it in a browser, hence the translating responsibilities falls on the browser itself as the doc does not open in the WC UI app.

No. Actually by format I mean : html, string, ...

Concerning the translation: The Web solution is providing some translation capabilities, my question is does the API offering them too. Can we for exemple ask to have the article in french automatically ?

Hi @nabil.hassoumi , may I confirm if your second question about the content translation via WC1 API is confirmed? as I'm facing same question now and I also want to know if WC1 API could provide the translation capability like UI.
