Frequency dictionaries?

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone has experience with using large frequency dictionaries in their study, and could point me in a good direction. I'm trying to program a tool that will help me to prioritize my encountered vocab by sorting by frequency.

One characteristic I'm looking for would be good handling of derivatives, i.e. in Spanish, estar/estoy/estás/etc. being derivative of the same word, in German sein/bin/bist/etc.

As a programmer, another good quality would be being able to call it via some sort of API (although this isn't absolutely necessary). I managed to find this Python library, but I'm not sure of how it handles derivatives (unless derivatives are understood to typically have comparable frequency to each other? Seems statistically reasonable at first glance, given a large enough corpus) https://pypi.org/project/wordfreq/

I'd really appreciate any input y'all, thank you!
