Example:
https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/all

/word

Return one stored word randomly. Options can be further specified, see the parameters menu.

Example:
https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/word

/languages

Return a list of stored language codes. Useful if you want a multilanguage app. See Github to find out how to add your own.

Example:
https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/languages
