Hosted API on AWS

[meetDeveloper]

I have hosted API on AWS, Kindly shift to API hosted on https://dictionaryapi.dev.

Way to query API has been changed a little:

Usage : The basic syntax of a URL request to the API is shown below:

https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v1/entries/<--language_code-->/<--word-->

As an example, to get definition of English word hello, you can send request to

https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v1/entries/en/hello

The phonetic seems to give weird characters

[meetDeveloper]

@victorsmseo Can you give example, for which word did you got weird characters?

[victorsmseo]

https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v1/entries/en/hello
It gives "phonetic": "/həˈl�/"

[meetDeveloper]

For me it is coming like this, can you hit API with curl and then tell me response.

[victorsmseo]

I found out that the characters were crashing in Safari. Checked them out in Chrome and works like a charm. Thanks!

I didn't realise there was a new endpoint. You might want to add a comment to the old API endpoint warning of future deprecation.

Thanks for your comment I had no idea either !

[meetDeveloper]

Have included version 2 also,

https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/<--language_code-->/<--word-->

This changes the way API gives output.

[meetDeveloper]

Thank you all for using my API and helping it reach this height.

@davwheat @nealchawn There is V2 endpoint also now.
