🎥 Demo / Working

💭 How it works

The bot first extracts the word from the comment and then fetches word definitions, part of speech, example and source from the Oxford Dictionary API.

If the word does not exist in the Oxford Dictionary, the Oxford API then returns a 404 response upon which the bot then tries to fetch results form the Urban Dictionary API.

The bot uses the Pushshift API to fetch comments, PRAW module to reply to comments and Heroku as a server.

The entire bot is written in Python 3.6

🎈 Usage

To use the bot, type:

!dict word

The first part, i.e. "!dict" is not case sensitive.

The bot will then give you the Oxford Dictionary (or Urban Dictionary; if the word does not exist in the Oxford Dictionary) definition of the word as a comment reply.

Example:

!dict what is love

Definition:

Baby, dont hurt me~ Dont hurt me~ no more.

Example:

Dude1: Bruh, what is love? Dude2: Baby, dont hurt me, dont hurt me- no more! Dude1: dafuq?

Source: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=what%20is%20love
