Is there no API for this then? It’s open-source I was hoping there would be :(
-
Sadly not, looking at the docs it seems like the best one could do is write an add-on for Anki that would send data periodically when it was opened, maybe based on events. Not ideal! https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/addons.html#a-simple-add-on
-
Yeah add-in would be the best bet. It’s a shame Anki has such a good community that it would likely benefit from an API
-
Use this app at least an hour a day…
-
Also, email Damien, he is a coding super-hero and responds to email quickly.
-
Would be super interested in even the limited version Josh suggests as an add-on. Anyone aware of this existing?
-
An update:
The following Anki add on may make this possible?
-
Thanks for finding this! Unfortunately as it runs on your PC we still couldn’t use this for access — you’d have to write something to send the data from there to Exist, rather than Exist asking for it from that direction.
-
I’m playing around with makin an add on that would be able to do this - it doesn’t seem like it’d be particularly complicated but Anki’s documentation for addons is downright abysmal, so progress is slow. If someone interested in this and willing to help has experience with this sort of stuff please don’t hesitate to let me know!
-
You may want to look at the Beemind maintained progress addon, which does something extremely similar, but for Beeminder. I have used it for ages. (=
-
Isn’t there any solution for it? Forfeit is planning to implement Akin API, I don’t see why Exist wouldn’t use it. I just found that app and its approach it seems pretty neat, also it respects user privacy like Exist.
-
As far as I can tell, Anki does not have an API and the situation hasn’t changed. If they’ve added one, definitely please link me to the details :)
-
As far as I am aware here is the API: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2055492159

Thanks! So this is an add-on that provides a local API on the user’s computer. We’d still need to write something that runs on your computer to communicate with it, and to be honest, writing our own add-on still probably makes more sense. So unfortunately it doesn’t really change the current situation.
