example of usage for wordnik

Question

Does anyone have an example in Objective C that uses the wordnik apis? The repo on Git hub offers a set of classes with pretty much no explanation of how to put together the pieces (rather than what libs you need to make it compile)

Answer 1

you should be able to get data from the API pretty easily:

1. Include the ASI & JSON code in your project
2. Ensure you have Foundation.framework, CoreServices.framework, libz.1.2.3.dylib, SystemConfiguration.framework
3. In your code initializer, import ApplicationConstants.h and set your API key:

    Import "ApplicationConstants.h"

    ...
    API_KEY = @"{YOUR_API_KEY}";

5. make some calls:

    WordService *ws;

    ws = [[WordService alloc] init];
    NSArray* definitions = [ws fetchDefinitions:@"dog"];    
    Word *w = [ws fetchRandomWord:TRUE];

There will be a proper sdk in objective-c and other languages for the purposes of aggregating some of the basic Wordnik API calls.
