1 integration · REST

Wordnik exposes one public developer integration surface: a REST HTTP API at `https://api.wordnik.com/v4`, documented with a machine-readable Swagger/OpenAPI spec and authenticated primarily by a Wordnik-issued API key, with an additional auth token needed for private word-list endpoints.

Wordnik API keyapi_keyGet key

Create a Wordnik account at Wordnik signup, validate your email address, then log in and apply for an API key from Wordnik Developer. Wordnik says free keys may take up to seven days unless you donate US$5, in which case keys are typically issued within 24 hours.

Wordnik auth token for private user contentbearer

Use your own Wordnik username/password together with your API key to call the authentication endpoint described in the Wordnik changelog: POST https://api.wordnik.com/v4/account.json/authenticate/$USERNAME with header api_key: $API_KEY and the password in the request body. The response returns a token value, which Wordnik says is then sent as auth_token to access your private word lists. This token is only needed for private user-content endpoints.
