Switch to a different dictionary API

Open gcampax opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Owlbot is a disaster:

  • they miss a lot of really common words
  • they have bot detection and show a captcha page randomly (on an API???)
  • they have no point of contact on their website

In the past we have used Wordsapi from RapidAPI, as well as the Oxford dictionary APIs. It's probably worth going back to one of those.

@gcampax Acknowledged, I'll revert back to a different API ASAP. Thanks!
