Proper nouns are not included (yet). The API uses the Swagger 2.0 specification. # Authentication This is an open API. # Try it out This sandbox can be used to get data for only one kind of resource, that is, to fetch data for a string contained in the meaning of any of the words. The remaining resources work a similar fashion. For details, see the reference documentation.
