Word of the day plugin

Plugins ideas

Hi everyone,
I recently got into obsidian. I wanted to know if it’s possible to create a plugin that pulls the word of the day from Merriam Webster and populates it into a note. Very much how templatr has the quote of the day.

As a workaround, you could just embed the website inside the daily note template. This is an example using the Templater plugin syntax:

<iframe src="https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>" height="500px"/>

Or this one if you want to use it within the daily note and the daily note has the default format title (YYYY-MM-DD):

<iframe src="https://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/<% tp.file.title %>" height="500px"/>

When you apply the template, then the correct link will show for the word of the day related to the note’s date.
