A live English-data platform launches a set of APIs that actually work: a definitions API serving hundreds of thousands of entries from the Century Dictionary, an examples API sampling from a ~3 billion-word corpus, a word-frequency API from the Alpha Corpus, plus autocomplete and word-of-the-day endpoints. APIs are available now with docs and sample code, signups open, and a cadence of one new API per week for months; early partners are already building and shipping products.
