Motivation

[edit]

Urban Dictionary (Q310004) is often an useful reference to learn about a particular slang term found on the Internet. A property would allow to link items to their definition in the website, and it is already used in some Wikipedia editions. Sabas88 (talk) 21:00, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]
hi 
I'm a volunteer at Wikidata.
we are discussing how to best link to you and would like to hear if you have exposed the defids somewhere in the URL of your site?
e.g. https://api.urbandictionary.com/v0/uncacheable?ids=12939928 gives back the up and down votes but I wonder if I can get the data for the entry or navigate to it using the same id somewhere?
e.g. https://urbandictionary.com/define.php?id=12939928?
a unique identifier that we can use as a persistent link from our lexemes would be really nice to have
it could also help you get more traffic from us as our lexemes grow and Google and others start using them in their products.
