Security and data handling
Transport
Use HTTPS when calling the API.
API keys
- Treat API keys like passwords
- Never embed them in public client-side code
- Prefer sending them via
X-API-Keyheader (not query params)
Data handling
- Requests are not stored in a database by default
- Translation results may be cached in Redis for a limited time (see Caching)
- Server logs may contain error details
EU data residency
Both Langbly endpoints run in the EU. The global endpoint (api.langbly.com) may process translation requests outside the EU. The dedicated EU endpoint (eu.langbly.com) uses EU-only infrastructure — all processing, storage, and translation stays within the EU.
See EU Data Residency for full details.
