Ask HN: How to get word association from Google?

[voiceclonr]

If I go to Google and type "vpn vs", it automatically shows ["proxy","tor","remotedesktop"] associated words. Google's NLP API do not seem to provide list of associated words. Are there any pre trained corpus available or is there a way to programmatically get it via google ?

It seems it was deprecated [1], but it works for me atm.

Thanks. It works for me atm as well. I wonder if Google will somehow integrate into their NLP api.
