Yeah, that is a good suggestion and it lies in my TODO list for a long time. However, CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is a problem that I cannot handle it for now.
Recently I have written a Chrome extension which can avoid the limitation of CORS and get data from other sites.
BTW, I am not sure what you mean with the online dicts, here is two my understandings:
- you have a specific list of words and you want to fetch some data like meaning, phonetic symbol, example sentences, etc..
- you want to get a list words from other sites.

And as the back-end is written by python, it is very easy to add an API to run a python crawler, which you are skilled in, I think.
