I know that Google Dictionary was discontinued in 2011, but the dictionary information and definitions are still available through google search results:
Does anyone know whether this information can be accessed through the Custom Search API or the Translate API?
I found this related question (but sadly without a satisfying answer).

Unfortunately, like others have said, the Google Dictionary API is deprecated.
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary API is free as long as it is for non-commercial use, usage does not exceed 1000 queries per day per API key, and use is limited to two reference APIs.
Wordnik API Wordnik is a free dictionary API. It is available free of cost. Users can install the API on any application.
Free, immediate accessFor the first time, we're offering you free, self-service access to our dictionary data so you can quickly and easily incorporate our lexical data in your apps via one single API.
I also needed Google Dictionary API for my project, it was not present so I decided to create one.
I scrapped the WebPage for the url https://www.google.com/#q=define+term where term is any word you want to get meaning of, and created the API, you can find it here Google Dictionary API.
The basic syntax of a URL request to the API is shown below:
https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/<--language_code-->/<--word-->
As an example, to get definition of English word hello, you can send request to:
https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/hello
The API also provides other meanings of the word, example sentences, and synonyms, if any.
If you want me to include any other details, please comment and I will happily extend the API to cover your needs.
In case you wish to see the code, it is on github.
