datamuse

A Common Lisp library wrapping version 1.1 of the Datamuse API.

From the Datamuse site:

The Datamuse API is a word-finding query engine for developers. You can use it in your apps to find words that match a given set of constraints and that are likely in a given context. You can specify a wide variety of constraints on meaning, spelling, sound, and vocabulary in your queries, in any combination.

The API gives you programmatic access to most of the functionality of Datamuse’s websites, including OneLook, RhymeZone, Rimar.io, and WikSearch.

Datamuse very generously allows up to 100,000 queries per day without an API key. Thus no setup is needed for this library–just quickload it and go! :)
