A package that generates the necessary token to use the Google Translate API for free 💵🚫
translate.google.com uses a token to authorize the requests. If you are not Google, you do not have this token and will have to pay $20 per 1 million characters of text.
This package is the result of reverse engineering on the obfuscated and minified code used by Google to generate such token.
The token is based on a seed which is updated once per hour and on the text that will be translated. Both are combined – by some strange math – in order to generate a final token (e.g. 820594.703830) which is used by the API to validade the request.
npm install --save google-translate-token
const token = require('google-translate-token');
token.get('Hello').then(console.log);
