Oh, I definitely saw your attempts to reverse engineer the API in the logs! 🤣
I don't currently have a public API for the website. It's something I'd genuinely like to build though and I've got a separate stack I'm working on in C# (Dotnet Core) for this purpose, but it's a little ways off.
Is there anything I can build on Parf Edhellen to make the experience as convenient as the SMS service you have in mind? Is there any capability that we're missing? Or is it the performance that can be improved?

It's not necessarily a matter of performance - the site is working wonderfully. My idea was more about convenience, and (as a member of the Twilio Developer Relations team) a fun way to interact with the dictionary. Here's a youtube link to one of my coworkers describing a bit about how the last mile of my idea works: https://youtu.be/4jUMqutYmyE?t=1883
What we'd need from Parf Edhellen to enable it is a few controller-level methods that accept an input with a parameter and respond with something like a JSON string. So... if I hit https://www.elfdict.com/api/translate?query="A star shines on the hour of our meeting", for example, it would respond with an object containing the string "Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo", or maybe there could even be a version that returns it in Tengwar characters.
The best part about it is that you shouldn't need to rewrite the whole stack (unless you have other concerns)... just respond on certain routes with a formatted string instead of catching it and rendering a web page from it.
/translateEnglish?word="Elen"
/translateSindarin?word="Star"
/definition?query="Mordor"
/quotes?character="gimli",book="Return of the King"
/quotes/random (no parameters)
Those are just some general ideas here for things that could be fun that I thought of immediately - obviously we can find out from the audience what would be most interesting/valuable and prioritize building those.

Please DM me over Twitter (@parmaeldo)! There are some infrastructure considerations we need to discuss.
