Retrieving the words from WordNet database

I'm looking for a website that offers API for retrieving the words from English WordNet database.

I do not want to download the WordNet database and implement it in my server.

Simply I want to call API and get back some results in XML format from that web site. I have a web application in ASP.net that is written in C#.

Here there is a sample from WordNet, I want to do something like that in my web application.

WordNet Online


It seems that is no such API publicly available.

According to Related Projects site part of WordNet data is avaible as API via abbreviations.com:

Abbreviations.com has created free APIs based on REST calls which return a well-formatted XML result, providing both synonyms and definitions APIs based on the WordNet database.

However on the same page in .NET/C# section you can find some publicly available local APIs, so you don't have to implement it by yourself, but have to download data files.


WordNet does not seem to expose a REST or similar API that can be used. That said, you might be able to derive the URL pattern by searching online and using that in your application and parsing the response html.

You might want to check there website to make sure this is legal.
