Quick Start

// Initialize the SDK with your API key
import { DictionaryClient } from '@dictionary/sdk-js';

const client = new DictionaryClient({
  apiKey: process.env.DICTIONARY_API_KEY,
  region: 'us-east-1'
});

// Search for a word with definitions & synonyms
const result = await client.words.lookup('ephemeral', {
  include: ['definitions', 'synonyms', 'pronunciation'],
  lang: 'en'
});

console.log(result.data.meanings[0].definition);

# Initialize the client
from dictionary_python import DictionaryClient

client = DictionaryClient(api_key="your_api_key_here")

# Fetch definitions with async support
result = await client.words.lookup(
    word="ephemeral",
    include=["definitions", "etymology", "audio"],
    language="en"
)

print(result.meanings[0].definition)

// Initialize DictionaryKit
import DictionaryKit

let client = DictionaryClient(apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY")

// Lookup word asynchronously
Task { do
    let result = try await client.lookup(
        word: "ephemeral",
        options: [.definitions, .synonyms, .audio]
    )
    print(result.meanings[0].definition)
} catch { // Handle error }

🔑 Authentication

All SDK requests require an API key. Keys are scoped by project and can be restricted by rate limits, allowed IPs, and endpoints.

📦 Rate Limits

Free tier: 100 requests/min. Pro: 1,000 req/min. Enterprise: Custom limits. Auto-retry and exponential backoff are built into all SDKs.

🛡️ Security & Signing

Webhooks and server-to-server requests support HMAC-SHA256 signature verification. Client-side SDKs use scoped tokens.
