Linguee API

Ask linguee anything. Heavily inspired by this JS project. Linguee has no API. This is a PHP library to send an HTTP request to Linguee and fetch the response (it populates a Einenlum\LingueeApi\Response\DTO\Response object and can be serialized to JSON).

Install

composer require einenlum/linguee-api

Usage

<?php
use Einenlum\LingueeApi\Factory;

$linguee = Factory::create();

// Example: https://www.linguee.com/english-german/search?query=desert
$response = $linguee->translate('desert', 'eng', 'ger');

// $response is an instance of Einenlum\LingueeApi\Response\DTO\Response
echo $response->toJson();

/*
Prints:
