API Reference

  "word": "apple",
  "is_valid": true,
  "definition": "1. The fleshy pome or fruit of a rosaceous tree (Pyrus malus) cultivated in numberless varieties in the temperate zones. 2. Any tree genus Pyrus which has the stalk sunken into the base of the fruit; an apple tree. 3.

❓ What data does the API return?

You get:

• word — The word you looked up
• is_valid — Whether the word exists in the dictionary (true/false)
• definition — The complete definition with numbered meanings

All in structured JSON. Ready to use in your app.

❓ How accurate is the data?

Definitions are sourced from comprehensive English dictionaries.

The data is reliable and suitable for production applications including language learning platforms, word games, and writing tools.

❓ What happens if the word doesn't exist?

You get a clean response with is_valid: false:

{
  "word": "asdfghjkl",
  "is_valid": false,
  "definition": null
}

❓ Does it support multiple definitions per word?

Yes. When a word has multiple meanings, all definitions are returned in a numbered format.

For example, "apple" returns four distinct definitions:

1. The fruit
2. The tree
3. Similar fruits/vegetables
4. Anything round like an apple

This gives you complete coverage for words with multiple meanings.
