Looking up words in the OED with XQuery by Clifford Anderson.
Clifford has posted a gist of work from the @VandyLibraries XQuery group, looking up words in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) with XQuery.
To make full use of Clifford’s post, you will need for the Oxford Dictionaries API.
If you go straight to the regular Oxford English Dictionary (I’m omitting the URL so you don’t make the same mistake), there is nary a mention of the Oxford Dictionaries API.
The free plan allows 3K queries a month.
Not enough to shut out the outside world for the next four/eight years but enough to decide if it’s where you want to hide.
Application for the free api key was simple enough.
Save that the dumb password checker insisted on one or more special characters, plus one or more digits, plus upper and lowercase. When you get beyond 12 characters the insistence on a special character is just a little lame.
Email response with the key was fast, so I’m in!
What about you?
