Testing Api Translate: What exactly does mean: Requests | Errors% | Latencey, Median (ms) | Latencey, 95% (ms)

[Neculai I. Fantanaru]

Hello, from the API Print Screen below, are the Requests the number of words or the number of Characters?

And what exactly means the other?

Requests  |  Errors%   |   Latencey, Median (ms)   |   Latencey, 95% (ms)

And, does anyone know how to buy more trabslate words, if I want to translate more then 500.000 characters?

Requests is the count of each time an API is called. You can find more information of HTTP requests here [1]. Please be mindful this is a 3rd party link not supported by Google.

Regarding API metrics, you can find information in the official documentation [2].  

From the link above:

• Errors: the percentage of requests to enabled APIs that resulted in errors
• Median latency: the median latency for requests to enabled APIs, if available".

Latency, 95% represents the latency at the 95th percentile.

Best regards,

Felix.
