[![](https://shields.kaki87.net/npm/v/deepl-scraper)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/deepl-scraper)

![](https://shields.kaki87.net/npm/l/deepl-scraper)
Scrape data from DeepL translator without applying for the paid authenticated API, using Puppeteer, Chrome browser's headless API.
## Getting started
### Prerequisites
- NodeJS
- NPM
- Yarn
### Install
From [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/deepl-scraper)
`yarn add deepl-scraper`
or
`npm i deepl-scraper --save`
#### Additional steps for `puppeteer` on Linux
```bash
sudo apt install libnss3-dev libxss1
sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1
```
### Usage
```js
const { translate, getSupportedLanguages, quit } = require('deepl-scraper');
translate(sentence, source, target).then(console.log).catch(console.error);
```
#### Parameters
- `sentence` *string* - Word/sentence to be translated
- `source` *string* (optional) - Word/sentence original language
<br>Default : `auto`
- `target` *string* - Language for word/sentence to be translated
#### Supported languages
The module doesn't store languages and will always support DeepL's languages list without required update.
IETF tags are used as language format.
Get arrays of supported source and target languages using the following code :
```js
getSupportedLanguages().then(console.log);
```
```json
{
"sourceLanguages": [
"en",
"de",
"fr",
"es",
"pt",
"pt",
"it",
"nl",
"pl",
"ru",
"ja",
"zh"
],
"targetLanguages": [
"en-US",
"en-GB",
"de-DE",
"fr-FR",
"es-ES",
"pt-BR",
"it-IT",
"nl-NL",
"pl-PL",
"ru-RU",
"ja-JA",
"zh-ZH"
]
}
```
#### Quitting
Since this module uses a headless browser, it won't quit as long as your main script is ronning or until you quit it using the following code :
```js
quit()
```
#### Error handling
- `INVALID_SOURCE_LANGUAGE`
- `INVALID_TARGET_LANGUAGE`
- `UNSUPPORTED_SOURCE_LANGUAGE`
- `UNSUPPORTED_TARGET_LANGUAGE`
### Examples
#### Translate from defined language
```js
translate('hello', 'en', 'fr-FR').then(console.log);
```
```json
{
"source": {
"lang": "en",
"sentence": "hello"
},
"target": {
"lang": "fr",
"sentences": [
"Bonjour,",
"Bonjour",
"bonjour",
"hello",
"h"
],
"translation": "hello"
}
}
```
#### Translate from auto-detected language
(a single word's language is usually more difficult to detect)
```js
// Either
translate('hello', 'auto', 'fr-FR').then(console.log);
// Or
translate('hello', undefined, 'fr-FR').then(console.log);
```
```json
{
"source": {
"lang": "en",
"confident": false,
"sentence": "hello"
},
"target": {
"lang": "fr",
"sentences": [
"Bonjour,",
"Bonjour",
"bonjour",
"hello",
"h"
],
"translation": "hello"
}
}
```
(a sentence's language is usually more efficient)
```js
translate('hey, what\'s up ?', 'auto', 'fr-FR').then(console.log);
```
```json
{
"source": {
"lang": "en",
"confident": false,
"sentence": "hey, what's up ?"
},
"target": {
"lang": "fr",
"sentences": [
"hey, quoi de neuf ?",
"Hé, qu'est-ce qu'il y a ?",
"h",
"Hé, quoi de neuf ?",
"Hé, qu'est-ce qu'il y a ?"
],
"translation": "Hé, qu'est-ce qu'il y a ?"
}
}
```
## Planned features
- Get word-by-word definitions, quotes and synonyms
- Bypass maximum text length
## FAQ
**Why using Puppeteer instead of HTTP requests ?**
<br>Fucking rate limit error always showing up, whatever you do.
