Oxford Dictionaries is pleased to announce the launch of the Oxford Dictionaries API which, for the first time, will enable developers to access and utilize Oxford’s leading lexical content and provide a gateway to our innovative Lexical Engine and Platform (LEAP), where our multilingual[1] dictionary data is optimized and semantically linked.

 

Although APIs for languages such as English are fully realized, the Oxford Dictionaries API places additional emphasis on the availability of digitally underrepresented languages, such as Indonesian, Swahili, and Hindi. This allows developers the ability to localize products and services in many languages for the first time. The Oxford Dictionaries API makes quality lexical data accessible for both commercial projects and research initiatives. It will allow commercial developers of every size and budget to enhance their app or website with Oxford’s dictionary data. For many applications which are just starting out, the data is available for free. For research, the API is always free and will allow linguists and language researchers around the world to integrate our language data.
