How to get a Yandex Translate API key

Prepare a service account

1. Open Yandex Cloud Console and select the required cloud and folder.
2. Go to Identity and Access Management → Service accounts and create an account for inScreen.
3. Grant the account the ai.translate.user role for the folder that will pay for requests.

Create the API key

1. Open the service account.
2. Choose Create new key → Create API key.
3. Select the yc.ai.translate.execute scope when scoped keys are available.
4. Save the secret immediately; Yandex shows it only once.

Find the Folder ID

The Folder ID appears on the folder overview page and in the browser URL in Yandex Cloud Console.

1. Open translation settings in inScreen.
2. Select Yandex Translate.
3. Paste both the secret API key and Folder ID.
4. Choose languages and click Translate all.

The key ID and the secret are different values. inScreen needs the secret value returned when the key is created.
