Hi Nick,
I'm glad the definition endpoint is useful for you!
To stay informed on the current status of the endpoint, keep an eye on this
wiki page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/RESTBase_services_for_apps>.
To help out, you can file bugs here
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mobile-content-service/> or submit
patches to the mobileapps
<https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/mediawiki%2Fservices%2Fmobileapps.git> repo
in Gerrit (see How to become a MediaWiki hacker
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker> if you're
new to our development process).
Cheers!

Fantastic! This is exactly what I was looking for,
thank you! What¹s the
best way to keep myself informed on the progress? And is there a way for
me to help?

Hi Nick, there is an experimental end point
exposing definition data
from the English Wiktionary at
https://en.wiktionary.org/api/rest_v1/?doc#!/Page_content/get_page_definit
ion_term.
As described in the end point documentation, this end point is not
final yet, support is limited to English, and the output format is
subject to change. That said, we do intend to stabilize this in the
next months as the Android app and other consumers start using this
end point in production.
Hope this helps,
Gabriel

Hi! I¹m trying to create a simple dictionary
function for a Web App.
Basically, I want to be able to click on a word in my app, and it pops
up
the definition. I can¹t seem to find a simple way of doing this.
Please
help!
