Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Agarathi Dictionary API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Agarathi is a Tamil dictionary service that exposes a small but focused API: list the available Tamil dictionaries, fetch the word of the day, and search for Tamil word definitions across multiple lexical sources. Useful for language-learning apps, content moderation pipelines that need Tamil semantic context, and AI agents handling Tamil-language inputs.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Agarathi Dictionary API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Tamil Language-Learning App

Tamil language-learning apps use Agarathi to expose dictionary lookups inside their lesson and reading flow. Learners tap a Tamil word and the app calls /dictionary/search to display all known meanings across Agarathi's supported dictionaries. /dictionary/list lets the app surface a source-picker so advanced learners can pick a specific lexicon.

Call GET /dictionary/search with the Tamil word for 'rain' and return all returned definitions grouped by dictionary source

Editorial Word-of-the-Day Widget

News and culture sites that publish Tamil content can drop a word-of-the-day widget on a homepage by calling GET /dictionary/wod once per day. The endpoint returns the headword and a definition that the site renders inside its template, refreshed via a daily cache.

Call GET /dictionary/wod each morning and cache the result for the homepage word-of-the-day block

Tamil Content Moderation Lookup

Content moderation pipelines that flag Tamil text can use Agarathi to confirm the meaning and register of a flagged term before deciding to action it. /dictionary/search returns dictionary entries that human reviewers see alongside the flagged text, reducing false positives on terms that are dialectal or archaic.

For each Tamil token flagged by an upstream classifier, call GET /dictionary/search and surface the top definition for a human reviewer

AI Agent Tamil Reasoning

Agents handling Tamil-language inputs can use Agarathi via Jentic to ground their answers in dictionary definitions instead of relying solely on LLM training data. The agent searches Jentic for the lookup, executes /dictionary/search, and uses the returned entries to disambiguate meaning before responding.

Search Jentic for 'tamil word definition', load the GET /dictionary/search schema, and execute with a user-supplied Tamil headword

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Agarathi API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and injected into the X-Agarathi-Api-Secret header at execution time, so the agent never holds the raw key.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g., 'tamil word lookup') and Jentic returns the matching Agarathi operation with its parameter schema, so the agent calls /dictionary/search without reading docs.

Time to first call

Direct Agarathi integration: a few hours of API-key plumbing and HTTP wiring. Through Jentic: minutes — search, load, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Wordnik API

English dictionary API with definitions, examples, and word-of-the-day.

Pick Wordnik for English-language dictionary needs. Agarathi is the right fit when the source or target language is Tamil.

Alternative

Merriam-Webster API

English dictionary and thesaurus API from a major lexical publisher.

Use Merriam-Webster for authoritative English definitions; use Agarathi for Tamil.

Complementary

Afosto API

Search platform that can index Agarathi entries for in-app full-text search.

Pair when an app wants its own search ranking on top of Agarathi-derived definitions instead of calling Agarathi at every keystroke.

FAQs

Specific to using Agarathi Dictionary API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Agarathi Dictionary API?

Agarathi does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Agarathi Dictionary API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Agarathi Dictionary API use?

Agarathi requires an API key sent in the X-Agarathi-Api-Secret header. Through Jentic, this header value is populated at execution time from the encrypted credential vault.

Can I look up a Tamil word's meaning with this API?

Yes. GET /dictionary/search accepts a Tamil headword and returns matching dictionary entries. GET /dictionary/list shows the available dictionaries you can target.

What are the rate limits for the Agarathi Dictionary API?

The public spec does not document rate limits. For language-learning apps with bursty per-user lookups, cache definitions client-side so a single popular word is not fetched repeatedly. Back off on HTTP 429.

How do I integrate Agarathi lookups through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'tamil dictionary lookup', load the GET /dictionary/search schema, and execute with the headword. Jentic returns the dictionary entries directly to your agent so you can render or reason over them.

Is the Agarathi Dictionary API free?

Agarathi historically offers a free developer tier with API-key gated access. Higher-volume tiers and commercial use should be confirmed with the Agarathi team via the docs site.
