A python project using the Wordnik API and the Reddit PRAW API to respond to calls with multiple word definitions and parts of speech.
This program requires the installation of the Wordnik library. This is easily set up using pip install Wordnik
. This program also requires the use of an API key, freely available from Wordnik.
This program uses the Wordnik Python API to access Wordnik json files (sample). The plan is to feed these Wordnik definitions and other word metadata into a Reddit bot using PRAW.
At this point in time, this project is being undertaken as part of a final assignment for a programming course at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Upon completion of that project, a full set of contributor guidelines will be opened to allow for further expansion on the bot re: using the vast amount of wordnik metadata to offer services other than simple word definitions.
The milestones created for this project detail the three major problems that need to be fixed/capabilities that need to be added within this project. Those are excellent starting points for contribution.
From there, new milestones would be created for adding other new wordnik capabilities.
- Wordnik
- Connect to API
- Pull appropriate data from word definition
- Parse Data
- Display Data
- find comments by name
- pull word from comment
- embed wordnik script
- reply to comment
