Bulk acronym checker needed

[krx]

How hard would it be to create a program/tool to bulk check the number of acronyms for lists of 3 and 4 letter domains? For example, AcronymFinder.com gives four meanings for the acronym CRMM. I don't need to know the various meanings just the number of meanings found. I need something that will let me check a list of acronyms instead of one at a time. It would be great if there were an option to also see the meanings for a given acronym - but that would be icing on the cake.

I'm happy to pay for something like this so feel free to PM me a price.

I think better is to scan all domains made from 3-4 letters and after just look for some acronyms

Not sure if you're joking or just misunderstood me. We're talking about many thousands of domains here.

Given that all 17,576 possible 3 letter .coms are registered, why not ignore the whole domain issue and just get a count of all 3 letter acronyms?

This would be very easy to calculate from a dictionary of acronyms.

I want to be able to run a list of 3 or 4 or even 5 letter names (not just .com) and see the number of meanings associated with each. How would you go about this? I know of several acronym tools but none of them have bulk features or - to my knowledge - make their database available.

The actual lookup isn't difficult. You just need a simple database table keyed by the acronym you're interested in finding information about.

Select count(*) from acronyms where acronym = 'SQL';
Select acronym, definition from acronyms where acronym='SQL' order by definition;

The hard bit seems to be getting the data. I'm ignoring on-line services that can be queried, while they are fine for low volume queries they aren't going to scale well and once the service owners work out what's happening they are going to either block the queries or charge for them.

I've done a bit of googling for appropriate data and have come up empty handled.
