deepl-python Authentication based on enterprise proxy server

In browser-based usage, we have a proxy server with which we connect, eg. deepl.<enterprise domain>.ch. This grants us access to DeepL Pro without the need for a login. Is it possible to use our enterprise proxy server to access DeepL Pro API without using an authentication key?

I could not find anything on this topic in the documentation. As far as I saw, deepl.Translator always raises an exception, if no authentication key is given.

Hi @maruedt, thanks for the question.

It sounds like you are using IP-based enterprise login. This is not currently available for the API; all API requests require an authentication key.

This could be possible if the proxy server can be configured to add an Authentication header to incoming requests; this is something we could look into if necessary.

Thanks for the reply and the clarification. I was hoping that there might be a quick fix. Since it is a small side project of mine, I don't think it is necessary to look deeper into any solutions.
