python-urbandict

This is a python project, that fetches definitions of words from urban dictionary's public API.

Future additions. PRs are always welcome :)

• Calculate ratio of thumbs_up and thumbs_down and decide the probability of a correct definition.

Installation

Python 3.9 or higher is required

To install the library you can use the following command:

# Linux/MacOS
python3 -m pip install --upgrade python-urbandict

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install --upgrade python-urbandict

Or just try:

pip install python-urbandict

Quick Example

You can create an instance of the UrbanDict class and pass a word to it. After that you can use the search method that will retrieve the definitions from UrbanDictionary. If you want to you can also leave the word attribute empty, in which case a random word is selected by UrbanDictionary.

from pyurbandict import UrbanDict

word = UrbanDict("python")
results = word.search()
print(results[0])

>>> Definition(
    word='python',
    definition='The best thing to happen to [Computer Science] students in a data and [file] structures or [algorithms] class.',
    example='Joe: "Man...I spent a week coding that [algorithm] in C."\r\nMoe: "I got it [done in one] evening with [Python]. It works great."\r\nJoe: "Say, what? Where can I download that?"',
