Google Translate API text-to-speech: http requests forbidden
I am making a language learning web app that when you hover over the word, it pronounces it for you. I'd like to access the native speaker translations from Google Translate API.
I've found this resource which gives http://translate.google.com/translate_tts as the base URL and tl for target language and q for the query string.
This works awesome when I just access it in the browser,
http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=zh-CN&q=你好, but any httprequests for my app return a 403 Forbidden error.
localhost:~ me$ wget
"http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=en&q=hello+world"
--2015-06-02 11:02:06-- http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=en&q=hello+world

sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden 2015-06-02 11:02:07 ERROR
403: Forbidden.
Is there a formal Google API for text-to-speech associated with their payment plans for traditional Google Translate API that I'm just not finding? Or is there a way to get and play this audio somehow?

That resource is dated. Google deprecated free access to the language translate api. Now an API key is needed. The api is also now in V2.
Without an api key you will receive the 403 forbidden error.

Thank you. I've looked at their API docs and didn't see any endpoints for getting text-to-speech files. Am I missing that? I'd be willing to pay if I can access the audio. Btw, you still can download the audio from the deprecatedtranslate_ttsURI usingwget -q -U Mozilla -O output.mp3 "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=en&q=hello+world"

@Growler it's not an official api but still takes an api key. You can try get passed it using techniques from here: stackoverflow.com/questions/12883330/…. You're likely to get blocked often once you make requests with over 100 characters.
