Today I discovered that this package had stopped working for me. To my bafflement, it actually worked in "emacs -Q". I cranked out mitmproxy, turns out that I was setting url-user-agent to something different Emacs wide.
So technically, this is not an issue with the package, because it will probably work for most people. Just a heads up in case someone opens an issue about it. I tested it out on curl, basically this fails (with default user-agent: "curl/8.5.0", but it also doesn't work with no user agent at all) :
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @/tmp/query https://api.powerthesaurus.org
But this works:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @/tmp/query -A "URL/Emacs Emacs/30.0.50 (nil; nil)" https://api.powerthesaurus.org
I thought this was quite amusing. Are you the maintainer of that API? I also note that in their site there is no documentation or mention about any API at all. Maybe it's being phased out.
