Free Dictionary API

A free, no-auth dictionary API powered by Wiktionary

What it does

I built a free, open-source dictionary API for developers who need quick word lookups without authentication or paywalls. Powered by Wiktionary, the API returns definitions, parts of speech, pronunciations (IPA), and examples in clean JSON. It’s intended for side projects, demos, learning apps, or anywhere you need dictionary data without extra friction. Feedback on API design and missing fields is very welcome.
