C-SALT APIs for Sanskrit Dictionaries

The C-SALT APIs for Sanskrit Dictionaries provide access to the most important Sanskrit dictionaries hosted by the University of Cologne. The dictionaries have been encoded in TEI-P5 and you can download them from this repository. The APIs have been created and are maintained with Kosh.

You can access each dictionary via a REST and a GraphQL API.
