asyncdictionary

asyncdictionary

An asynchronous Python wrapper for https://dictionaryapi.dev/

---

NOTE: Currently I have only implemented fetching words from English, not other languages. This is because the actual API's implementation of languages other than english is different. Support for different languages coming soon though.
