API or XML: Get sentence by word service

api, dictionary, javascript, php, xml

Solution

You're looking for the Wordnik API: http://developer.wordnik.com/docs.html

Specifically, check out the `word/example` endpoint:

http://developer.wordnik.com/docs.html#!/word/getExamples_get_0

FYI: the Temboo Library is a great resource when you want to for APIs by topic.

(Full disclosure: I work at Temboo)

Problem

I'm trying to find a free service that can give a sentence by word. That could be an explanation of the word or any other sentence with this word. Is there any free service without registration? I thought thefreedictionary.com has something like that but I didn't find such kind of service on their web-site.
