Using npm:
npm install datamuse
The Datamuse API is a word-finding query engine for developers. The official website illustrates the kinds of queries you can make: Datamuse API. This module helps you to make queries and supports promises.
Straight forward approach by providing a query.
const datamuse = require('datamuse');
datamuse.request('words?ml=ringing in the ears')
.then((json) => {
console.log(json);
//do it!
});
Use words as shortcut.
datamuse.words({
ml: 'ringing in the ears'
})
.then((json) => {
console.log(json);
//do it!
});
Use sug as shortcut.
datamuse.sug({
s: 'rawand'
})
.then((json) => {
console.log(json);
//do it!
});
