oxd
Oxd is a client library for the Oxford Dictionary API. It provides a series of structs modeling entries returned from the API, a function [get_entry] to get entries from the API, a Display trait to display entries, and a Pronounce trait to play pronunciation files.
Usage
First you need to go to the Oxford Dictionary API website to get an application id and a key.
Use as a command line utility
Currently the most convenient way to install oxd is via cargo:
cargo install oxd
After installation, set environment variables OD_API_APP_ID
and OD_API_APP_KEY
to their corresponding values obtained from the Oxford Dictionary API website. Then just type oxd rust
to look up the word "rust".
Use as a library
use oxd::{build_client, get_entry};
let app_id = "your_app_id".to_owned();
let app_key = "your_app_key".to_owned();
let client = build_client(app_id, app_key);
if let Some(retrieve_entry) = get_entry(&client, "rust") {
println!("{:#?}", retrieve_entry);
}
