StateOfJS API

Translations

You can use the GraphQL API to get more info about a specific translation locale. Here is a sample query:

query GetLocaleData {
  locale(localeId: "ru-RU") {
    completion
    totalCount
    translatedCount
    translators
    untranslatedKeys
  }
}

Data Format

Type definition

The response are normalized using the following structure:

// Might be extended depending on the survey we add.
type SurveyType =
    | 'state_of_js'
    | 'state_of_css'

// both predefined choices and an optional freeform answer
