## Pricing
from $0.20 / 1,000 translations
This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
## Yandex Translator and Dictionary API AI
Fast, reliable, and powerful translation, batch processing, HTML structure preservation, and rich bilingual dictionary definitions powered by the Yandex NLP Engine.
---
### Features
- **Text Translation (`/translate`)**: Auto-detects input language and converts to your target language instantly.
- **Batch Translation (`/translate/batch`)**: Translates up to 5 strings concurrently using highly optimized worker pipelines.
- **HTML Translation (`/translate/html`)**: Translates the textual content of standard HTML blocks while preserving original tags and attributes (``, ``, ``, etc.) intact.
- **JSON i18n Translation (`/translate/json`)**: Localize internationalization JSON objects by translating string values while perfectly preserving their root structure and keys.
- **Language Detection (`/detect`)**: Standalone language identification using advanced NLP confidence models.
- **Dictionary Lookups (`/dictionary`)**: Provides extensive grammatical data, parts of speech, synonyms, and antonyms.
- **Context Corpus (`/corpus`)**: Retrieves realistic usage examples and translation examples from bilingual text corpora.
---
### Input Parameters
The Actor takes the following configuration parameters:
| Field | Type | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `endpoint` | string (select) | **Required**. The operation mode: `/translate`, `/translate/batch`, `/translate/html`, `/translate/json`, `/detect`, `/dictionary`, `/corpus`. |
| `text` | string | Source text or lookup term (Used for standard text, HTML, single detection, or dictionary lookups). |
| `texts` | array | Array of strings (Max 5) to translate in batch mode. |
| `json_data` | object | JSON mapping dictionary to localize in translation mode. |
| `target_lang` | string | Target language code (e.g. `es`, `fr`, `ar`, `ru`). Default is `es`. |
---
### Output Formats
All results are saved to both the **Default Key-Value Store (`OUTPUT`)** and the **Default Dataset** (enabling visual tables and seamless CSV/Excel/JSON exports).
#### Standard Text Translation Output Example:
```json
{
"success": true,
"source_lang": "en",
"target_lang": "es",
"translation": "Hola Mundo",
"engine": "yandex"
}
````

### Monetization & Event Pricing
This Actor is configured for Pay-Per-Event (PPE) charging models. Check the **Publication & Pricing** tab in the Apify Store for current rates:
1. **Per Dataset Record**: Automatic charging per translation output item written to your run dataset.
2. **Per API Event**: Custom charging rules managed securely via Apify's monetization platform.

# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.
## JavaScript example
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"text": "Hello world!",
"texts": [
"Good morning",
"Goodbye"
],
"json_data": {
"title": "Welcome User",
"login_button": "Click here to login"
}
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dev00/yandex-translator-dictionary-api").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
