  I'm also wondering about this api... is it ok for copyright/terms and conditions to use the iphone json feature? even though it's not official?

  Awesome! Is there a similar page for thesaurus?

  They changed the iPhone page, but you can still fetch JSON from here:

  Is there any update in regards to a working API? Don't care what language just really keen to use UD as core reference feature in an application I'm developing.

  JSON would be nice for irc chat bots to look up meanings in the channel

  I want to make a game and use the words and definitions here.

  Do we have any JSON/ REST API's ?? any consideration

• Chuck commented  ·  Feb 22, 2011  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  JSON would be great!

  Please provide a fixed soap api and developer keys...i'd love to write an app for Maemo/N900 that allowed searching urban dictionary. Alternatively, what about an RSS absed api?

  You have an amazing resource. An API would allow developers to make more of it!

• Jonathan commented  ·  Dec 07, 2010  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  All current soap requests return the following:
  Client {Operation 'get_random_definitison' is not defined in the WSDL for this service}

  Please fix your typo so we can use it again.

  Please allow us to use the api keys again and freely distribute them.

  Me and my friends have been using the api for years and our meetings online just arent the same without the api for use with our software.

  Please take care of us.

  Kind regards.

  Please just get the signup page for the SOAP key back up ... anyone have a spare key I could use? :)

• dmsuperman commented  ·  Sep 03, 2010  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  So... is there any way for any developers to get information from urban dictionary in any fashion other than scraping the HTML?

• natalie sthoup commented  ·  Aug 09, 2010  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  wats an API?

• mizerydearia commented  ·  Jun 17, 2010  ·  Flag as inappropriate  ·  Delete

  Any updates to this? I'd like to query this site for retrieving definitions of words.

  The iPhone page does an XHR to grab JSON:

  Really wish we had this. Looks like even the SOAP one is down now?

  Simple JSON would be great.
