About
This is an unofficial API for interfacing with Longdo Dictionary. Longdo offers a greate service for translating words from English to Thai and vice versa. However, Longdo only provides an API that returns result in HTML format. While this may work on websites, it is difficult to interface with the API on other platforms. As JSON is widely accepted in many areas, I decided to wrap that HTML respond from Longdo API in JSON. The service is hosted on Heroku. Source code can be found on Github.
