📚 RAE API Actor for Apify A powerful Actor for accessing the Real Academia Española (RAE) dictionary and retrieving structured data such as definitions, conjugations, synonyms, antonyms, and more. This Actor is built to integrate easily with your applications, games, and research tools. ## Included features - Apify SDK - A toolkit for building Actors on the Apify platform. - Input schema - Define and validate a schema for your Actor's input. - Dataset - Store structured data where each object stored has the same attributes. - RAE API - Retrieve linguistic data from the Real Academia Española dictionary. - JSON Output - Structured data formatted for easy parsing and integration. ## How it works 1. Actor.getInput() retrieves the input where the word to be queried is defined. 2. The Actor fetches structured data related to the word, including: - Definitions - Conjugations - Synonyms and Antonyms - Word origin 3. The retrieved data is then stored in the Apify Dataset using Actor.pushData(). 4. The structured JSON output can be used for various purposes, including word games, educational tools, and research. Example input: json { "word": "hablar" } Example output: json { "word": "hablar", "meanings": [ { "origin": { "raw": "Del lat. fabulāri.", "type": "lat", "text": "fabulāri" }, "senses": [ { "raw": "1. intr. Emitir palabras.", "meaning_number": 1, "category": "verb", "synonyms": ["balbucir", "tartamudear"], "antonyms": ["callar"] } ] } ], "conjugations": { "non_personal": { "infinitive": "hablar", "participle": "hablado", "gerund": "hablando" } } } ## Resources - Web scraping with Apify SDK - Using Apify Datasets - Building Actors on Apify - RAE API Documentation - Integration with tools like Zapier, Make, and Google Drive - Video guide on using Apify API ## Getting started To build and run this Actor on Apify: 1.
