# Google Translation Scraper (`dev_bodex/google-translation-scraper`) Actor This Google Translation Scraper Actor automates extracting translations for any input text from Google Translate. Built with Node.js and Puppeteer, it efficiently retrieves translations in multiple languages, providing structured data for use in language apps, research, or educational projects. - **URL**: https://apify.com/dev\_bodex/google-translation-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Eniola Bode](https://apify.com/dev_bodex) (community) - **Categories:** News - **Stats:** 8 total users, 0 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 1 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $5.00/month + usage To use this Actor, you pay a monthly rental fee to the developer. The rent is subtracted from your prepaid usage every month after the free trial period.You also pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher Apify subscription plan you have.

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 ## Google Translation Scraper This Apify actor utilizes Google Translate to translate text between various languages. It's useful for scraping translations, automating multilingual content, and integrating translation capabilities into your workflows. ## Features - **Text Translation:** Translate text from one language to another using Google Translate. - **Multiple Language Support:** Supports translations for a wide range of languages. - **Automatic Language Detection:** Detect the source language automatically when not provided. - **Batch Translations:** Translate multiple texts in one request. ## Input The actor accepts the following input parameters: | Parameter | Type | Description | | -------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `sourceText` | String | The text you want to translate. | | `target` | String | The target language or language code (e.g., `en` for English, `es` for Spanish, `fr` for French). | | `source` | String | The source language or language code (e.g., `en` for English, `es` for Spanish, `fr` for French). | ## Example Input ```javascript { "sourceText": "How are you", "source": "en" "target": "spanish", } ```` ## Output The output is a JSON object containing the original text, the translated text, the source language, and other relevant data. ## Example Output ```javascript [{ "source": { "language": "english", "iso-code": "en", "text": "How are you" }, "target": { "language": "spanish", "iso-code": "es", "text": [ "CΓ³mo estΓ‘s" ] } }] ``` \#Usage - **Deploy the Actor:** Deploy this actor on Apify by uploading the source code and configuring the environment. - **Run the Actor:** You can run the actor with the Apify SDK or directly from the platform's console. - **View the Output:** The output will be available in the actor's execution results in JSON format. ## Notes Ensure the target and source provided is a valid language or language code (e.g., fr for French, de for German, en for English, es for Spanish). ## Supported Languages This actor supports all the languages available in Google Translate # Actor input Schema ## `sourceText` (type: `string`): The text to translate. ## `source` (type: `string`): Language to translate from(source) ## `target` (type: `string`): Language to translate to(target) ## Actor input object example ```json { "sourceText": "How are you", "source": "en", "target": "spanish" } ``` # 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 = { "sourceText": "How are you", "source": "en", "target": "spanish" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dev_bodex/google-translation-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?

Go to β†’ https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{ "sourceText": "How are you", "source": "en", "target": "spanish" }' | apify call dev_bodex/google-translation-scraper --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=dev_bodex/google-translation-scraper", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer " ] } } } ``` ## OpenAPI specification ```json { "openapi": "3.0.1", "info": { "title": "Google Translation Scraper", "description": "This Google Translation Scraper Actor automates extracting translations for any input text from Google Translate.
