This is the best free (Unofficial) API of the OG Urban Dictionary. Explore the API with various query parameters. Contribute to the open source project on the Github repo.!
Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced online dictionary where anyone can define slang words, wild phrases, and things your grandma probably shouldn't read. Think of it as the people's dictionary — unfiltered, hilarious, and sometimes horrifying.
Because the internet is full of witty weirdos. Seriously though — it's relatable, raw, and refreshingly real. Users love the humor, creativity, and pure chaos of community-contributed definitions.
It's the best open-source REST API for Urban Dictionary content. Totally unofficial, proudly community-built, and designed to help you fetch slang terms, search definitions, or grab random nonsense — programmatically.
Nope. Not at all. This is an independent project built by a developer who thought, “What if we could get Urban Dictionary data without scraping it every time?” Then promptly built something that... scrapes it every time.
The backend is built with Express.js (Node.js), and the frontend is just good ol' HTML with Tailwind CSS — lightweight, functional, and kind of cute.
Yes! As long as this project is alive and kicking (and not on fire), it's 100% free. No credit card. No sign-up. No rate limits. Just raw slang.
None. Zero. Zilch. But hey, don't go building Skynet with it.
Absolutely. You can inspect it, fork it, star it, clone it, or just stare at the repo wondering how it works. It's on GitHub for all to see.
Head over to the GitHub repo and open an issue, submit a PR, or drop a joke in the README. Contributions (and memes) are always welcome.
Whatever you want! Build a meme bot, a Slack app, a random slang generator for your resume — go wild. Just don't use it to explain slang to your boss. That won't end well.
