API Reference for the getProjectData method to retrieve project information and configuration
Overview
The getProjectData method retrieves comprehensive information about a translation project including its name, organization, default locale, and currently configured target locales.
This method is useful for understanding project configuration and validating project settings.
const gt = new GT({ projectId: 'your-project-id', apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const projectData = await gt.getProjectData('project-123');
console.log(`Project: ${projectData.name}`);
console.log(`Default locale: ${projectData.defaultLocale}`);
console.log(`Target locales: ${projectData.currentLocales.join(', ')}`);Reference

Examples
Basic Usagex
import { GT } from 'generaltranslation';
const gt = new GT({
projectId: 'your-project-id',
apiKey: 'your-api-key'
});
async function getProjectInfo(projectId: string) {
try {
const project = await gt.getProjectData(projectId);
console.log('=== Project Information ===');
console.log(`ID: ${project.id}`);
console.log(`Name: ${project.name}`);
console.log(`Organization: ${project.orgId}`);
console.log(`Default Locale: ${project.defaultLocale}`);
console.log(`Target Locales: ${project.currentLocales.join(', ')}`);
return project;
} catch (error) {
console.error(`Failed to retrieve project ${projectId}:`, error);
throw error;
}
}
const projectInfo = await getProjectInfo('my-project-123');Notes
- The method provides read-only access to project information - use the dashboard to modify project settings
- This method requires a valid project ID - the project must be accessible with the provided API key
- Project data includes both source and target locale configurations
- The
currentLocalesarray represents all target locales configured for the project - Use this method to validate project configuration before starting translation workflows
