SONAPI 🇪🇪 - An API for the Estonian language

Overview

I am software developer based in Tallinn Estonia. While learning the estonian language I figured that there is no publicly available API for the language dictionary itself. The Estonian Language Institute provides a language portal called Sonaveeb but no way to programmatically access the dictionary content.

SONAPI is an API wrapper around www.sonaveeb.ee and my side project to stay fit and get a deeper understanding of NodeJS, Typescript, design patterns and architectural concepts. This project is built with my interpretation of an API in a Hexagonal Architecture context. (Also called Ports & Adapters Architecture).

You can find a live example on https://www.sonapi.ee/ or just simply call https://api.sonapi.ee/v1/{word} with whatever tool you like

Installation and requirements

In order to run it locally you can either use Docker with Docker Compose or run it in a local NodeJS environment.
