This is just a tiny program, written in Golang, to generate index from words to their definition pages, in the Oxford English Dictionary Second Edition (and its additions), from oed.com.
Just access https://www.oed.com/oed2/value and replace value to the actual index (availability not ensured, works till the date of most recent commit) if you want the detailed text.
The output is CSV-formatted, and has two columns, Word and Index.
There will be no headers if output is written to stdout (default).
Notice #1: this program will strip the part of speech label and only the word (or a list of word forms) is saved to the file, so multiple indices are pointing to a single word which may be of different parts of speech.
Notice #2: the table is not ensure to be sorted.
Please do not abuse this program. This program is for educational purposes only.
- Build requirements boosted to Go 1.20.
- Added custom user-agent string that deals with 403 error.
