# Dictionary API

- **Website:** <https://dictionaryapi.dev>
- **Primary alias:** `dictionaryapi.dev`

## Description

The Free Dictionary API offers users a convenient way to access word definitions. With a simple URL request, users can retrieve the meanings of words from the English language. For example, by sending a request to https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/hello, users can obtain the definition of the English word hello. The API provides not only the definition but also additional information such as the phonetic pronunciation and audio pronunciation. The word hello can be used as an exclamation, a noun, or a verb. It can function as a greeting or the start of a phone conversation, an utterance used to greet someone, or a shout of hello. The Free Dictionary API is completely free and aims to support users in building games, learning applications, and advanced speech and text technology. By donating to the project, users can contribute to the ongoing development and maintenance of the API. Connect with the Dictionary API on Github or through email for any inquiries or further information.
