Dictionary API supporting Javascript

Question

Is there an easy-to-use dictionary API that I can use with Javascript?

Requirements:

• free - at least 1000 requests/day
• supports synonym
• easy to use with Javascript

Answer 1

I created one: https://github.com/Vuizur/ultimate-dictionary-api.

Synonyms are on my TODO-List

I'll add usage limits depending on the load of the server.

Answer 2

The Pearson API works.

• free up to 150,000 request/month
• supports synonyms
• gives audio files for pronunciation
• easy to use with Javascript, returns a JSON object

eg. for baffle:
