Getting Started with Words API

Introduction

Words API lets you retrieve information about English words, including definitions, synonyms, rhymes, pronunciation, syllables, and frequency of usage. It also can tell you about relationships between words, for instance that “math” has categories like “algebra” and “geometry”, or that a “finger” is part of a “hand”.

Install the Package

Install the gem from the command line:

gem install test-words-api-client-sdk -v 5.0.1

Or add the gem to your Gemfile and run bundle:

gem 'test-words-api-client-sdk', '5.0.1'

For additional gem details, see the RubyGems page for the test-words-api-client-sdk gem.
