I am in search of an API that will provide me with definitions for words. I used to know of one, but now I have forgotten it, now that I need it. Does anybody know of any?

Thank you in advance!

I always look first in programmableweb for APIs I haven't try any though.

http://www.findmysoft.com/scripts/Di...-download.html

Like that kind of API?

I created a word script a while back, the code probably sucks but you it uses definr.com and if definr.com can't find it it tries Oxford dictionary (no api but fetches de definition from the page)

here are the URLs I used as you probably won't use my class ;) :
http://definr.com/definr/show/[word] to find definition
http://definr.com:4000/glob.json/[word] to find synonyms or do find-as-you-type

Thank you very much guys! I will probably use Definr because it is the simplest there. SOAP is a little too complex for what I need it for. Json results are perfect!
