Urban Dictionary API
Urban Dictionary as an API — the crowd-sourced dictionary of slang, internet terms, memes, abbreviations and pop-culture expressions. Where a formal dictionary stops, Urban Dictionary explains the words people actually use online and in conversation: youth slang, gaming and meme vocabulary, acronyms, regional expressions and the ever-changing language of the internet. This API wraps the official Urban Dictionary service into a clean JSON interface. /v1/define?term=yeet returns the community definitions for a slang term, each with a real usage example, the contributing author, the up- and down-vote counts and a computed net score, sorted best-first so the most upvoted meaning comes first (or pass defid to fetch one specific definition by its id). /v1/random returns a batch of random definitions — perfect for a slang word-of-the-day, discovery features or fun. /v1/autocomplete?term=ye returns term suggestions as the user types, each with a short preview, for building search-as-you-type experiences. Ideal for chat and social apps decoding slang, language-learning and culture tools, moderation context, trivia and entertainment bots, and word-of-the-day widgets. Definitions are user-submitted and, by the nature of the source, may contain strong or NSFW language. Data from Urban Dictionary. For formal definitions, pronunciation and etymology, pair this with a standard dictionary API.
