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/${word}`) .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => console.log(data));
[ { "word": "documentation", "phonetic": "/ˌdɒkjʊmənˈteɪʃən/", "phonetics": [ { "text": "/ˌdɒkjʊmənˈteɪʃən/", "audio": "" }, { "text": "/ˌdɑkjəmənˈteɪʃən/", "audio": "" } ], "meanings": [ { "partofspeech": "noun", "definitions": [ { "definition": "something transposed from a thought to a document; the written account of an idea.", "synonyms": [], "antonyms": [] }, { "definition": "documentary evidence and sources.", "synonyms": [], "antonyms": [] }, { "definition": "documents that explain the operation of a particular machine or software program.", "synonyms": [], "antonyms": [] }, { "definition": "comments that explain the usage of individual functions, libraries and blocks of code.", "synonyms": [], "antonyms": [] } ], "synonyms": [], "antonyms": [] } ], "license": { "name": "cc by-sa 3.0", "url": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0" }, "sourceurls": [ "https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/documentation" ] } ]
const word = "software engineer"; fetch(`https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/${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." }
此 api 目前不返回特定的成功或错误代码。
