# Unit resources

The Pootle API exposes a number of resources. Next you have a complete list of Unit specific resources.

Note

All URLs listed here should be appended to the base URL of the API.

## List units in a store

URL: | `/stores/<STOR>/`
Description: | Returns the unit list on a given `<STOR>` store.
API versions: | 1
Method: | GET
Returns: | Unit list on a given `<STOR>` store.

    {
        "file": "/media/Firefox/fr/chrome/global/languageNames.properties.po",
        "name": "languageNames.properties.po",
        "pending": null,
        "pootle_path": "fr/firefox/chrome/global/languageNames.properties.po",
        "resource_uri": "/api/v1/stores/76/",
        "state": 2,
        "sync_time": "2013-03-15T20:10:35.070238",
        "tm": null,
        "translation_project": "/api/v1/translation-projects/65/",
        "units": [
            "/api/v1/units/70316/",
            "/api/v1/units/70317/",
            "/api/v1/units/70318/",
            "/api/v1/units/70319/"
        ]
    }

## List units matching a criteria

URL: | `/units/?<CRITERIA>`
Description: | Returns a unit list that match the `<CRITERIA>`.
API versions: | 1
Method: | GET
Returns: | Unit list that match a given `<CRITERIA>`.

`<CRITERIA>` is a query string where the fields are Django ORM Field Lookups. Some examples might help:

- `source_f` field contains, case insensitive, button: `/units/?source_f__icontains=button`
- `target_f` field starts with window: `/units/?target_f__startswith=window`
- `mtime` field (modification datetime) is on the May month: `/units/?mtime__month=05`
- Unit is translated: `/units/?state=200`

Multiple field lookups can be provided, even several lookups on the same field:

`/units/?mtime__month=05&mtime__day=12&developer_comment__icontains=verb`

Note

It is not possible to provide OR conditions using filters, nor negate the filters.

Fields | Available filters (field lookups)
--- | ---
`context` `developer_comment` `locations` `source_f` `target_f` `translator_comment` | exact iexact contains icontains startswith istartswith endswith iendswith
`commented_on` `mtime` `submitted_on` | year month day
`state` `store` | exact

The available states are:

- 0 (untranslated): The unit is untranslated (empty)
- 50 (fuzzy): The unit is fuzzy (typically means translation needs more work)
- 200 (translated): The unit is fully translated
- -100 (obsolete): The unit is no longer part of the store

Warning

It is possible to get all the units in a given store by requesting `/units/?store=<STOR>` but it is recommended to use the List units in a store method instead.

Filtering by store is only advisable when:

- You need to provide extra filters:

  `/units/?store=74&developer_comment__icontains=verb`

- You want to get all the data for those units with a single request, despite the computational cost.

## Get a unit

URL: | `/units/<UNIT>/`
Description: | Returns the unit with the `<UNIT>` ID.
API versions: | 1
Method: | GET
Returns: | Unit with `<UNIT>` ID.

        "target_length": 0,
        "target_wordcount": 0,
        "translator_comment": ""
    }

## Change a unit

URL: | `/units/<UNIT>/`
Description: | Changes the unit with the `<UNIT>` ID.
API versions: | 1
Method: | PATCH or PUT
Returns: | HTTP 204 NO CONTENT response.

Note

The method used can be:

- PATCH if the unit is going to be partially changed (just some of its fields), for example when providing a translation
- PUT if the whole unit is going to be changed
