Word of the day API call

[Tamas Sopronyi]

Hi,

I'm currently working on an AS3 implementation of Wordnik API and noticed that the wordOfTheDay API call weirdly does not contain the word itself.

It has ids, definitions, examples, but the actual word of the day is not there :)

http://api.wordnik.com/v4/words.xml/wordOfTheDay?api_key=a2a73e7b926c924fad7001ca3111acd55af2ffabf50eb4ae5

http://api.wordnik.com/v4/words.json/wordOfTheDay?api_key=a2a73e7b926c924fad7001ca3111acd55af2ffabf50eb4ae5

With the limited API usage, it's one extra call to get the actual word for the ID provided.

Can someone please check?

Thank you

I just realised it's not even possible to get a word by providing an id :(

Hi Tamas!

This is actually a data error -- we made a change to the way the json
was constructed and missed a field. :-(

If you try it again now you'll see the word of the day for today, which
is 'fleuron'.

Thanks!
