Does anybody know if MW or another company offers things like:

Direct access to raw word lists

Access to tagged word lists (e.g. words about geology; words that are socially not offensive)

API for results like newest word, next word, nearest word, definition, etymology, etc.

Paid is ok...Thanks!

Very nice! Thank you.

Have you heard of wordnik? It came up a lot while I was trying to fish out examples of how painful it is to query wiktionary.

I haven't, thanks for the ref.

I had this handy CLI alias which worked before wordnik went over to https.

    alias -g define='BROWSER=w3m ddgr \!wordnik '

Usage $ define annoyed :-)
