DICTIONARY_APP in Python

INTRODUCTION

The DICTIONARY_APP in Python is a simple software that fetches word meanings the usage of the Dictionary API. It permits customers to input a word and retrieves its definition, pronunciation, and instance usage. This challenge demonstrates API integration, JSON facts dealing with, and consumer interplay in Python.

STEP 1: Import Requests Module: The program imports the requests module to ship API requests and fetch phrase meanings.

import requests

STEP 2: Define Function to Fetch Word Meaning: The get_word_meaning() function constructs the API URL the usage of the entered phrase and sends a GET request to retrieve facts.

def get_word_meaning(word):
    url = f"https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/{word}"
    response = requests.get(url)
    
    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        meaning = data[0]['meanings'][0]['definitions'][0]['definition']
        example = data[0]['meanings'][0]['definitions'][0].get('example', 'No example available')
        return meaning, example
    else:
        return None, None

STEP 3: Take User Input: The application activates the consumer to go into a word, that is saved in the phrase variable.

word = input("Enter a word: ")
meaning, example = get_word_meaning(word)

Step 4: Display Word Meaning and Example: If the program finds the word, it prints its meaning and example usage; otherwise, it shows an error message.

if meaning:
    print(f"Meaning: {meaning}")
    print(f"Example: {example}")
else:
    print("Word not found. Please try another word.")

OUTPUT
Enter a word: Python
Meaning: A large heavy-bodied nonvenomous snake occurring throughout the Old World tropics.
Example: A python slithered across the forest floor.
