import { DictionaryClient, LookupResult } from '@dictionary/sdk';

// Initialize with your API key
const dict = new DictionaryClient(process.env.DICT_API_KEY);

// Search for a word
const result: LookupResult = await dict.lookup('ephemeral', {
  language: 'en',
  include: ['synonyms', 'pronunciation', 'examples'],
  maxResults: 5
});

console.log(result.phonetic); // /əˈfem.ər.əl/
console.log(result.definitions[0].text);

import dictionary_sdk as d

# Initialize client
client = d.Client(api_key=os.environ["DICT_API_KEY"])

# Lookup word with options
response = client.lookup(
    "ephemeral",
    language="en",
    include=["synonyms", "pronunciation", "examples"]
)

print(response.phonetic)       # /əˈfem.ər.əl/
print(response.definitions[0].text)

import com.dictionary.core.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        DictionaryClient client = new DictionaryClient(
            System.getenv("DICT_API_KEY")
        );

        LookupRequest req = LookupRequest.builder()
            .word("ephemeral")
            .language("en")
            .include("synonyms", "pronunciation")
            .build();

        LookupResult res = client.lookup(req);
        System.out.println(res.getPhonetic());
    }
}

import Dictionary

print(result.phonetic)       // /əˈfem.ər.əl/
