    url: "https://api.api-ninjas.com/v1/dictionary?word=" + word,
    headers: { "X-Api-Key": "your-api-key" },
    contentType: "application/json",
    success: function (result) {
      let text = result.definition;
      let paragraph = Api.CreateParagraph();
      paragraph.AddText(text);
      doc.InsertContent([paragraph], { KeepTextOnly: true });
    },
