Overview
HelloSalut is a simple, free API that returns a greeting translation based on the user's IP address or a specified language code. It is great for personalizing web app welcome messages to match a visitor's locale. No API key is required — just make a GET request.
Beginner Tip
Pass a two-letter language code (like "fr" for French or "de" for German) to get a greeting in that language, or omit it to auto-detect based on the caller's IP. This is a great first API to practice with because it requires no authentication.
Available Data

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
