How many antonyms are returned?
The API returns all known antonyms for a word, typically between 1-15 depending on the word. Common words tend to have more antonyms.
What if a word has no antonyms?
Words without clear opposites (like proper nouns or highly specific terms) may return an empty array or fewer results.
Does it handle different word forms?
The API works best with base word forms. For "running," try "run." Results may vary for inflected forms.
Are the antonyms ranked by relevance?
Yes, antonyms are generally ordered with the most direct opposites first, followed by less common alternatives.
Does it support phrases or idioms?
The API is optimized for single words. For multi-word expressions, results may be limited.
What language is supported?
Currently English only. The database covers standard American and British English vocabulary.
