Free dictionary API
Get the definition for an English word. See docs here
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
The Free Dictionary API provides a straightforward way to access dictionary definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and translations for words in multiple languages. With it, you can fetch detailed word meanings, usage examples, and phonetic transcriptions, enabling a variety of educational and linguistic automation opportunities on Pipedream. This API is valuable for developers looking to create language learning tools, content enrichment services, or to simply integrate rich lexical data into their applications.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
dictionary_api: {
type: "app",
app: "dictionary_api",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/<word>`,
})
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
