Hi @shahood, I wish it were that simple! We probably ought to do an audit so that we can produce those stats for our own purposes as much as anything else. The problem is that ODAPI extracts data from various different datasets and also manipu…
-
Hi @shahood, The issue you're having is the confusion between regions (plural; a filter) and region (singular; a label). That confusing labeling is our fault. What you are seeing is an Americanism that is listed in the Oxford Dictionary of Eng…
-
Hi Shahood, There was a thread about this issue here, where you will also find my response.
-
Hi Shahood, The timetable is more-or-less agreed but not yet absolutely nailed down so I cannot give you a specific date but we are talking about a few months.
-
Hi @shahood, It's horses for courses. We provide a number of tools, each of which has different strengths and weaknesses based on the intended purpose. I suggest that users mix and match all of these tools to suit their individual needs.
-
Hi @shahood, I must have missed the original. Sorry. The answer you are looking for is that earth tremor is a valid lemma which is a more precise synonym for one of the senses of tremor (we call these embedded lemmas, although they are being p…
-
Hi @tdkehoe, I think you got an error message because the Spanish data does not contain any pronunciation elements (I presume this is because Spanish is relatively phonetic, unlike English). If this happens with filters in future, it is worth bac…

Hi @sjain545, To quote @simone's OP: The request to the Entries endpoint works better for phrases so is used as a backup means of validation.
-
Hi @Shahood, No, I wasn't talking about that; I was talking about a new product: a full downloadable unfiltered list of headwords and inflections extracted from our English data, which we plan to charge for.
-
Hi @shahood, We are close to putting together a full wordlist so keep an eye out for details.
-
Hi @shahood, I deliberately tagged Simone in to make her aware of the display issue. As for how to code, the chances of two digits being required are pretty low, but non-zero and even were such a wordform to be found (with >9 homographs), t…
-
Hi @shahood, The display is something for @simone to look into, but I can see the whole text by using my admin super power to go in to edit your post (but not actually make changes in this case). Can you please point me to where in the documen…
-
Hi @shahood, I'm not quite sure I follow you. Are you asking for a 4-letter word with a homograph (e.g. bank, tear, wind, etc.) or are you asking whether any homograph numbers in the data have 4 digits, in which case, I am not aware that there ar…

Hi Shahood, Unfortunately, the account setup we have does not allow such a hard stop for paid accounts.
-
Hi @shahood, We don't have the account tools available to be able to do that. The only suggestion I can make would be to add some kind of call counter somewhere in your code.
-
Hi @jmiller, This is not always as easy as you might expect because the UK data also contains US spellings as variants and vice versa so inflections of both US and UK variants are recorded in the data. The reason why your entry call didn't ret…
-
Hi @shahood, We don't have the account setup to be able to do that but you can monitor your usage in real time through your usual account login.
-
OK, thanks. Got it.
-
By all means, please email [email protected] and reference this conversation. [@Simone: FYI]
-
Do you mind if I ask how you are using our ids (or maybe just the format of the ids?) as it would help us to understand what people do with our data and what we can do to improve their experience.
-
No. There was a change to the English monolingual data ids which hit us in the early days of ODAPI (the result of a big project behind the scenes) but that was very much a one-off and is unlikely to be repeated in the foreseeable future. Everything …
-
Like I said above, at this end we would also prefer it if the links worked differently but there are historic reasons why this is not currently possible. The website only functions as it does because of the ready availability of bulk data behind the…
-
Hi @salmeda_nieves60, Can you please be a bit more specific regarding what issues you are having so that I can have a look to see what's wrong?
-
Hi @shahood, The first example looks OK to me: you searched "zebra cross" and found "zebra crossing" as a headword. The second example looks odd in a couple of ways: [1] you noticed that it wasn't an inflected form; [2] the word value should n…
-
Hi @shahood, Apologies for the delay. Our team have logged it as a bug but fixing it will depend on some other stuff that is happening behind the scenes.
-
Hi @shahood, The answer is "sort of". I won't bore you with the historic reasons why it doesn't operate in the way you would like but I'll make a note that we ought to see if we can make it work that way in future (it will be quite a big project …
-
Hi @shahood, I will need to make enquiries about this one...
-
Hi @shahood, You need to take the JSON output on its own merits because you won't be able to map the JSON output to the website output (without some much deeper logical rearrangements). The data has been through different processes in each cas…
-
Hi @rajmatiGM, Is your concern about the numbering (which is not included in the data, but which can be re-created from interpreting the structure) or the structure of the content? If the issue is with the structure, the indentations on the im…
-
Hi @shahood, That's the language abbreviation ("en" = English). It's perfectly correct (for an English lookup, of course!).
