OxfordDictionariesDotNet

An unofficial wrapper for the Oxford Languages API

It only takes a few lines of code to retrieve a definition:

  1. First, obtain your App Key and App Token from https://developer.oxforddictionaries.com/.
  2. Install the library using the Nuget Package Manager.
  3. Initialise the main client:
var config = new OxfordDictionaryClientConfig
  {
    AppKey = "yourAppKey",
    AppToken = "yourAppToken"
  };

var client = new OxfordDictionaryClient(config);
  1. Use the Entries client to fetch information about a word:
var entry = await client.EntriesClient.FindEntryAsync("entanglement");
  1. There are many things a word can return, but you can always use a helper method for convenience:
var definition = entry.FindFirstDefinition();

Understanding the Oxford Dictionaries API

Please note that this is not a straightforward, one-size-fits-all dictionary. A single entry can provide a wealth of data, which may initially seem confusing. While I have tried to provide some guidance in my XML comments, for a more in-depth understanding of how the Oxford Dictionaries API works, I recommend visiting their official documentation: https://developer.oxforddictionaries.com/documentation.
