The idea is cool, but do they have a free to use API to integrate them with this script? Without API it'll be hard to integrate them...

Btw, I've found several APIs in other dictionaries, that can be used: https://dictionaryapi.dev/ https://www.collinsdictionary.com/collins-api https://developer.oxforddictionaries.com/ https://dictionary-api.cambridge.org/api/about https://dictionaryapi.com/ https://developer.wordnik.com/

And some articles about this: https://medium.com/@martin.breuss/finding-a-useful-dictionary-api-52084a01503d https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-popular-free-dictionary-APIs-available-today

Wondering if Wiktionary had an API, I found the English-language wiktionary indeed does (though the others don't for now) https://en.wiktionary.org/api/rest_v1/#/Page%20content/get_page_definition__term_ There's also https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract which has scraped the dumps for a couple languages, if that's more desirable Hope these help
