STEPS

1. run: npm install japaneasy
2. Setup test.js file per instructions:
   var Dictionary = require('japaneasy');
   var dict = new Dictionary();

dict('辞書').then(function(result){
console.log(result);
});
3) From console run: node test.js
4) Retry this time searching an English word.
var Dictionary = require('japaneasy');
var dict = new Dictionary();

dict('english').then(function(result){
console.log(result);
});

Thanks for reporting this error -- currently away from my dev environment and won't get to looking into it for another couple days.

My pleasure. Can't wait to git it another try once fixed!

Mocha suites are returning success for the glossing test:

 Initialization
    ✓ is a function when initialized with no inputs
    ✓ is a function when initialized with blank object
    ✓ returns a function for valid dict entries
    ✓ throws an error when initialized with invalid parameters for dictionary
    ✓ returns a function for valid params for method
    ✓ throws an error for invalid params for method
    ✓ returns a function for valid params for encoding
    ✓ throws an error for invalid params for encoding
    ✓ returns a function for custom string inputs that are long enough
    ✓ throws an error for nonstring custom inputs
    ✓ returns a function for valid mirror locations
    ✓ throws an error for invalid mirror inputs
    ✓ throws an error for nonpositive noninteger timeout values

  Url generator
    ✓ should generate a default url without any configuration
    ✓ should generate a url for basic japanese lookup
    ✓ should generate a url for basic english lookup
    ✓ should generate a url for different dictionaries
    ✓ should generate a url for different search methods
    ✓ should generate a url for different encoding types
    ✓ should have a no-repeat option for glossing
    ✓ should accurately switch between mirrors
    ✓ should overwrite other settings when a custom input is entered

  Limits on querying
    ✓ throws an exception to blank string
    ✓ throws an exception to null, undefined, or no input
    ✓ throws an exception to non string types

  Parsing responses
    ✓ accurately parses the response for 'hello'
    ✓ accurately parses the response when no response exists'
    ✓ accurately parses the response for scientific search 'chemolithotroph', input english
    ✓ accurately parses the response for glossing search '飛べねぇ豚はただのブタだ'

I too am getting the 200 OK + "No items are found," however, with the same input:

var wwwjdic = new japaneasy({
    dictionary: "expanded-glossing",
    encode: "UTF-8",
    timeout: 1000,
    language: "japanese"
});

 wwwjdic('飛べねぇ豚はただのブタだ').then(function(result) {
        console.log(result);
    });

looking into it.

Hi, I have not actively updated this plugin for several years, so the API may have changed or otherwise become non-functional in the time being. If you identify the issue, please feel free to submit a PR!
