Web API for Hangulize, powered by Google App Engine

API

You can find the actual API specification in openapi.yaml under OpenAPI Specification 3.0.1.

There was a former Hangulize Web API written in Python. That is considered as v1. The code still can be found at https://github.com/sublee/hangulize-web. The v1 API had complex content negotiation rules and not deterministic behaviors. v2 is re-designed against v1 to provide more simple and predictable usage.

GET /v2/version

Returns the version of the underlying Hangulize.

Content-Type	Result Example

Provides the list of language-specific transcription specs.

Content-Type	Result Example

application/json	{"specs": [{"lang": {"id": "ita", "english": "Italian", ...}, ...]}

GET /v2/specs/{lang}.hgl
