Where can I get the Database?

Open ghost opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I need to verify if a verb is an adjective for a couple of thousand of wrods but I can't rely on an Api that can go down at any moment. Is there a way I can host the Api on my local machine?

it's just scraping from lexico.com .. so there's no database and this "api" will break when anything changes on https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/ ..

@neeksor are you sure? The link you provided doesn't provide a dictionary for all the languages that this API provides. The source must not be this. Also the returned data differs with the API's returned data.
