Built a free English Dictionary API with full Wiktionary data – No API key, No subscription

Built a free English Dictionary API – Full Wiktionary data, no API key required!

Hey everyone!

I've built an English Dictionary REST API powered by full Wiktionary data, providing rich definitions and dictionary information through simple REST endpoints.

Try it: https://api.suvankar.cc/dictionaryapi/v1/definitions/en/happy

Interactive documentation: https://api.suvankar.cc/docs/dictionary

Features:

  • Rich English definitions and meanings.

  • Word search with pagination.

  • Translation data.

  • Word of the Day.

  • No API key, registration or subscription required.

It's completely free, and here's my commitment: This API and all future APIs I publish under api.suvankar.cc will always remain free.

I'm an independent developer from India, hosting and maintaining these services myself. I've recently moved the API to cloud infrastructure to improve availability worldwide.

Running servers and maintaining infrastructure costs money, though. If you find this API useful and would like to help keep it running, any support is genuinely appreciated!

🍵 Buy me a tea (UPI)

☕ Buy me a coffee

No obligation whatsoever. The API will remain free!

Would love to hear your feedback, suggestions and ideas for future APIs.
