I've the following problem. I need to find verbs in a string using JavaScript. I would like to know, if there is something like (JAWS), the Java API for Wordnet, but for JavaScript.

More specifically, i'm searching for some kind of RESTful webservice able to return the list of verbs in a text or webpage.

If you know something useful, please don't hesitate to post your answers.

Have a look at the Natural Language Processing APIs. They seem to have an API. There is even a service for larger amounts of requests (has a free plan as well).

It is based on simple POST requests and returns JSON, so it would be easy to use in JavaScript.
