Constructing the request

Now, using Postman, we are going to construct a request and fire it to the Cloud Translation API using these steps:

  1. Click on New and then Request inside Postman, and provide a name as applicable. I have created a new collection named Cloud Translation API and placed this request inside that. You can import that collection into your Postman as well. This file is available in the Chapter 7\API\Postman folder.
  2. Update the new request as follows:

    Field

    Value

    HTTP method

    POST

    URL

    https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2/languages?key=API_KEY

    Request body

    		 
    // SNIPP SNIPP{ "target": "en"}// SNIPP SNIPP

In the previous fields, update the API key as applicable.
