Textwords

The textwords resource is very basic. All of the active textwords you've reserved through the SlickText dashboard are available through the API. The following actions can be performed on this resource...

By default, the first set of 20 textwords will be returned, but you can modify this number with limit and offset values in the query string. The max limit for a single request is 10,000.
