Scraping Urban Dictionary Definitions

Extracts definitions, examples, and community votes from Urban Dictionary using apidojo's Urban Dictionary Scraper on Apify. Triggers when the user asks to: get Urban Dictionary definitions for a word or phrase, look up slang terms on Urban Dictionary, scrape definitions for internet slang or memes, export Urban Dictionary entries for a keyword, find how a term is defined by the internet community, collect crowd-sourced definitions for multiple words, or analyze slang usage and voting patterns. Returns word, definition, example, author, upvotes, downvotes, and timestamp. Ideal for linguists, brand researchers, content teams, and cultural trend analysts.
