Find everything you need to connect Simple8 to your workflow: clear guides, practical implementation steps, and the complete API reference. Start with the quickstart and create your first Plain Language or Easy Language text in just a few minutes.
You can then choose the setup that matches your product: a direct API request for an immediate result, streaming for visible progress, or a background job for longer content. Each guide shows the fields to send, the response to expect, and the next practical step.
Use the authentication guide to protect your API key, check the locale reference before you launch a new language, and keep the error guide close while you test. If you are planning a larger rollout, compare delivery patterns before you build so retries, limits, and status updates fit your existing workflow from day one.
