您是否正在开发语言学习应用程序、写作助手或任何涉及单词并需要 api 来检索单词含义的项目?免费词典 api 提供了一种免费且易于访问的方式,将语言数据合并到您的作品中。本文档将向您展示如何开始。
由 meetdeveloper 开发的免费词典 api,在 github 上拥有 2.6k star。 api 仅支持 get 请求,并提供单词定义和音标。
https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/<word></word>
此端点检索指定英文单词的字典信息。
api 有两个版本:v1 和 v2。主要区别在于响应结构。当前版本是 v2。
api 返回一个 json 数组,其中包含单个对象,其中包含有关单词的详细信息,包括:
const word = "documentation";
fetch(`https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/${word}`)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
[
{
"word": "documentation",
"phonetic": "/ˌdɒkjʊmənˈteɪʃən/",
"phonetics": [
{
"text": "/ˌdɒkjʊmənˈteɪʃən/",
"audio": ""
},
{
"text": "/ˌdɑkjəmənˈteɪʃən/",
"audio": ""
}
],
"meanings": [
{
"partofspeech": "noun",
"definitions": [
{
"definition": "something transposed from a thought to a document; the written account of an idea.",
"synonyms": [],
"antonyms": []

{
"definition": "comments that explain the usage of individual functions, libraries and blocks of code.",

],
"synonyms": [],

],
"license": {
"name": "cc by-sa 3.0",
"url": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0"
},
"sourceurls": [
"https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/documentation"
]
}
]
const word = "software engineer";
fetch(`https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/${word}`)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => console.log(data));
{
"title": "No Definitions Found",
"message": "Sorry pal, we couldn't find definitions for the word you were looking for.",
"resolution": "You can try the search again at later time or head to the web instead."
}
