About this API
Oxford is a dictionaries API described as: Dictionary Data. It is useful when you need programmatic access to dictionary data from applications, dashboards, or internal tools. The published entry point or documentation is hosted at developer.oxforddictionaries.com, which makes it a practical starting point for evaluating available endpoints and response formats. The listing indicates API-key-based access, which is typical for server-side integrations, scheduled jobs, and controlled client applications.
Use Cases
- Add dictionary data to a dictionaries discovery or reference application.
- Build an internal script or scheduled job that pulls data from Oxford for reporting or content updates.
- Prototype a small web or mobile experience that surfaces dictionary data to end users.
Code Examples

}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); Similar APIs
