API: Read translations

This is split into two sections, Translation Hosting and REST API. The CDN offers free, fast and public access to your translations, it can be used in client-side application. API offers filter and query options, and uses your API Key which can be used also for modifying translations, so it should be used only in server-side applications and integrations.

Translation Hosting

Translation Hosting is a content-delivery network (CDN), it's a fast and safe to share the link to the public. It's not rate-limited, so you don't have to worry about the number of requests. You can use it safely in client-side applications. Fetching data from Translation Hosting is available in all pricing plans including the Community plan.
