Lilt

LILT is an AI translation and localization platform that pairs contextual, adaptive machine translation with human linguist verification. The LILT REST API (https://api.lilt.com) exposes the platform programmatically: adaptive machine translation, large-scale translation memory and the Lexicon termbase, document and file translation, job/project/segment management, Lilt Create multilingual content generation, workflow templates, domains, cloud and multipart uploads, and webhook configuration. LILT also ships connectors for CMS, DAM and repository systems, first-party Python, Node and Java SDKs, and a hosted remote MCP server at mcp.lilt.com for agent-driven translation.

agent native

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Lilt the way a machine reads it — 21 machine-readable artifacts across 13 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Lilt scores 59.7/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 67/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Lilt

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lilt. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 13

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Lilt Create API

The Create API from Lilt — 2 operation(s) for create.

Lilt Documents API

The Documents API from Lilt — 2 operation(s) for documents.

Lilt Domains API

The Domains API from Lilt — 1 operation(s) for domains.

Lilt Files API

The Files API from Lilt — 3 operation(s) for files.

Lilt Jobs API

Lilt Segments API

The Segments API from Lilt — 3 operation(s) for segments.

Lilt Translate API

The Translate API from Lilt — 3 operation(s) for translate.

Lilt Uploads API

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
