pyrae

Perform searches against the RAE dictionary.

pyrae is a simple library providing functionality to search for words or terms in the RAE (Real Academia Española) online dictionary.

The RAE does not provide a public API, so this library makes HTML requests to the dle.rae.es domain and parses the responses to assemble the search results.

Installation

The easiest is to use pip, so that :

$ pip install pyrae

Usage

To search for a word or term in Spanish:

>>> from pyrae import dle
>>> print(dle.search_by_word(word='hola'))
