localization
GET /v1/i18n/bundles/{locale}
Get every translated string for one locale.
Authentication
Send an API key as a bearer token. This endpoint does not state a specific permission in the specification, so give your key the least it needs and check the response rather than assuming.
This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

-H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…"Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console
Details
Returns the calling organization's translated strings for `locale`, grouped by `object_ref` then `field` — the read a site build or an SSR render performs to populate a locale. **Last-good-while-stale.** An entry's `text` is returned whenever it is non-empty, *regardless of its `status`*: the store retains the previous translation while a re-translation is in flight, and serving that is better than serving an English string (or nothing) on a localized page. The per-entry `status` is exposed so the caller decides — a production build may accept `stale`, a release gate may refuse anything that is not `up_to_date`. Entries with no text yet are omitted entirely rather than returned blank. **Deliberately NOT cursor-paginated — a documented deviation from the rest of this API.** Every other collection here is cursor-paginated, and that is the right default for tenant data that grows without bound. This corpus is different: it is our own bounded, self-owned content, read as a single unit at build time. Paginating it would turn one build into hundreds of sequential round-trips *per locale* (58 locales × pages), for no isolation or performance benefit. Instead the response is bounded by a hard server-side cap; a bundle that would exceed it is a `422` naming the cap and telling the caller to narrow with `surface` or `object_ref_prefix` rather than silently truncating. Cacheable: responses carry a strong `ETag` over the bundle contents plus `Cache-Control: public, max-age=60`. Send `If-None-Match` to get a `304` and skip the transfer entirely.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
locale (path) | LocaleCode | Yes | The target locale to build a bundle for (docs/28 registry code). |
surface (query) | string | No | Comma-separated list of surfaces to include (e.g. `page,meta_title`). All surfaces when omitted. An unknown surface is a `422`. |
object_ref_prefix (query) | string | No | Only include entries whose `object_ref` starts with this prefix (e.g. `kb_article:` or `page:pricing`). Narrows a bundle that would otherwise exceed the entry cap. |
object_ref (query) | string | No | Comma-separated list of exact `object_ref` values (at most 100). Fetches a **group** of documents in one request. This exists because a prefix cannot express a group and one req… |
limit (query) | integer | No | Page size. **Sending this (or `cursor`) opts into paging**; send neither and the response is the whole bundle, with the `422` above when it exceeds the cap. Clamped to the 5,000… |
cursor (query) | string | No | The `next_cursor` from the previous page, passed back verbatim. Opaque — a cursor this endpoint did not issue is a `422`, never a silent restart, which would loop a caller forev… |
If-None-Match (header) | string | No | A previously returned `ETag`; a match responds `304`. |
Response
| Name | Type | Required | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
locale | LocaleCode | Yes | BCP-47 / ISO locale code from the language registry (docs/28). |
generated_at | string | Yes | When this bundle was assembled (server time). |
entries | object | Yes | `object_ref` -> `field` -> the translated entry. Entries with no text yet are omitted rather than returned blank. |
next_cursor | string | No | Pass back as `cursor` for the next page. `null` on the last page, and **absent entirely** unless the request opted into paging with `limit` or `cursor` — so a caller that never… |
