Create User / Login

TalkPlus supports anonymous and token-based login. In order to use token-based login, you must call /api/users/create and /api/users/login from the REST API endpoints to create user and retrieve user’s login token.

If you need translation feature, see below.

Message translation feature is provided through Google Cloud Translation. To use this feature, register an appropriate Google Cloud Service Account Key on our dashboard.

• To enable message translation, provide the language code (ISO-639) in translationTargetLanguage parameter when logging in.

• Supported languages (ISO-639) can be found here.

• 'translations' field in message object contains translated texts. Use language code as key to retrieve the text.
