Dictionary Tag With Image or Link Output

What:

A tag that gives the user a definition of a word

How:

This tag takes the user input and sends it to an API or application programming interface that I built using node.js and express. Once there it takes the word imputed and sends it to another API to get the definition, part of speech, etc.. Then using that info it either creates an image or a website with link previews depending on what is selected in the tag to output to the user. The website is using html meta tags to generate the preview but also is generating more info found on the actual website

Why:

I have seen other dictionary tags here on #show-off but they all require you to click a link and go to your browser in order to see the definition and other info. I wanted to make something that gave the user what they needed without ever having to leave discord.

Links:

Image of Website

How to Customize:

To change if the tag uses an image or link preview all you have to do is change the displayType variable to “image” or “link”. This is also explained in the tag comments

I would also like to mention this whole idea is possible and inspired by the stuff that _Leg3ndary#5759 did in his shell tag and other post here about saving data with tagscript
