An Anki add-on that launches an HTTP server upon startup and exposes Anki's data via a REST-ish API
- Work in progress.
- Quick and dirty hack.
- It works but I don't love the code.
I needed a way to use Alfred on OS X to add notes to Anki. Mucking around with Anki's sqlite database directly didn't sound appealing. A lightweight HTTP server, on the other hand, opens a lot of possibilities. (ClojureScript frontend for Anki, anyone?)
The Alfred extension can be found here.
Copy the contents of src to your Anki's add-on folder (without the src folder itself). The code has no external dependencies.
By default listens on port 41837. To change it, edit anki_http_server_init.py - it'll be obvious.
Only 3 endpoints for now:
Returns names of all Anki decks in a json object with key 'decks':
{
"decks": [
"Python cheatsheets",
"Clojure study"
]
}
Returns names of all Anki note models in a json object with key 'models':
{
"models": [
"Basic (optional reversed card)",
"Cloze",
"Basic",
"Basic (and reversed card)"
]
}
Creates a "basic" note in the deck with the given deckName. Expects a urlencoded body with 2 params: front and back for the two sides of the note. Returns something meaningless.
No time right now, but it's easy to add more. Look at the bottom of __init__.py
The endpoints I really want to add:
- /notes
- /notes/:id
- A more flexible
POST /decksthat accepts the name of the note model and dynamically extracts necessary fields based on fields defined in the said model
