This package is an upgrade of the GitHub project larousse_api.
It scrapes larousse.fr to look up definitions, synonyms, citations and locutions of French words.
pip install .from larousse_api import Larousse, LarousseError
try:
larousse = Larousse("Fromage")
except LarousseError as error:
# Raised when the word cannot be found or the request fails
print(error)
else:
# Each getter returns a tuple (normalized_texts, raw_li_nodes).
# Both values are None when the section is missing for the word.
definitions, _ = larousse.get_definitions()
locutions, _ = larousse.get_locutions()
synonymes, _ = larousse.get_synonymes()
citations, _ = larousse.get_citations()
print(definitions)
print(locutions)
print(synonymes)
print(citations)Multi-word entries and accented words are handled automatically
(Larousse("pomme de terre"), Larousse("être")), and a custom request
timeout can be passed with Larousse("Fromage", timeout=5).
Because the Larousse website doesn't supply an API to look up definitions :(
