Some time ago I made an iOS client for Nynorsk/Bokmålsordboka, back when it was run by UiO. I tried unsuccessfully to find anyone in charge to gain support for the app. So in the end, I ended up copying the API calls made by the web client. This was however cumbersome as most of the content is not machine readable and exposed as server-rendered HTML, which is not well-suited for structured parsing.
However, GET calls to /perl/lage_ordliste_liten_nr2000.cgi?spr=begge&query= works for searching the dictionary, and replacing the XHR call that replace part of the dom when clicking links in the output kinda also works.
However, it would be nice to have a proper API supported so when I found this repo I got a little excited.
I have no commercial interest in making a mobile app, other than the fact that I would like for it to exist.
