Create dictionary (create)

Create a new custom dictionary.

Creates a new dictionary.

The server assigns the numeric dictionary id.

What it does

• Creates an empty dictionary, or seeds it with an initial wordlist.

• Binds the dictionary to a lang.

• Enforces unique description per account.

Required parameters

Parameter	Type	Notes
cmd	string	custom_dictionary
action	string	create
lang	string	Example: en_US
description	string	Must be unique per account

Optional parameters

Parameter	Type	Notes
wordlist	string	Comma-separated words to seed the dictionary
format	string	json (default) or xml
callback	string	JSONP wrapper (JSON only)

Do not pass id in a create request. The server assigns it.

Request example

cmd=custom_dictionary&action=create&lang=en_US&description=Engineering terms&wordlist=GraphQL,Kubernetes,TypeScript

Response example

{
  "result": [
    {
      "id": 101565,
      "lang": "en_US",
      "description": "Engineering terms",
      "wordlist": ["GraphQL", "Kubernetes", "TypeScript"],
      "status": "success",
      "message": ["Dictionary created."]
    }
  ]
}

Possible errors

Notes and edge cases

• wordlist is optional.

• Words already recognized as correct can be filtered out.

• Save the returned id. All follow-up actions need it.
