word connotation missing
Hi, buddy.
It seems like the word connotation (e.g., derogatory) is missing.
import requests
url = 'https://googledictionaryapi.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/'
r = requests.get(url, params=dict(define='upstart'))
r.json()
[{'word': 'upstart',
'phonetic': '/ˈʌpstɑːt/',
'meaning': {'noun': [{'definition': 'A person who has risen suddenly in rank or importance, especially one who behaves arrogantly.',
'example': 'the upstarts who dare to challenge the legitimacy of his rule',
'synonyms': ['parvenu',
'parvenue',
'arriviste',
'nouveau riche',
'vulgarian']},
{'definition': 'A series of movements on the parallel or asymmetric bars, by which a gymnast swings to a position in which their body is supported by their arms above the bar, especially at the start of a routine.'}]}}]
I checked Oxford Dictionary API and they seems to store the data as registers

Hopefully, you could find a way to add it. Btw, really like your work!!!
"But ya didn't!"
Felt like the use of that line was necessary. Not meant to be rude, though.
@davwheat it's actually a little bit complicated. If you wanna an API returns more details. I would suggest you use Oxford dict API directly.
Yeah, I realise how rude my message sounds now I think about it...
I will say, thank you so much for this API. It's actually so useful as it's the best free dictionary API I can find.
@meetDeveloper Hi, man. I dug into it a little bit more after opened this issue. It seems like it could be very complicated especially when a word has many different senses. I kinda like the simplicity of the API now. So feel free to close it if you don't have time to deal with.
