Hi everybody,
I'm happy to announce that we are releasing the WordReference API today. This API is designed to give developers free access to WordReference's own dictionaries.
For those of you who do not know what an API is, it is simply a way for computer programs and other websites to access WordReference's dictionary data.
I am looking forward to seeing the different tools and games that developers around the world create using the dictionaries.
Developers, please feel free to write me through the Contact Us form at the bottom of this page if you have any questions.
Mike
PS. The API only gives access to WordReference's own dictionaries, and not those licensed from Oxford or any other publisher. Some of these dictionaries such as the Spanish one are currently not very complete. You can expect most of them to be much more comprehensive by September of this year.
