About

Py-Anki is an unofficial python binding/wrapper for AnkiConnect RESTful API. You can control all your Anki actions (eg: Create Deck, Add Notes, Get Card Info) using this package, in a more pythonic way.

Documentation

Warning : This package is under development yet.

Steps to use the API

• First of all you need to install AnkiConnect addon on your Anki Software.
• Then, run Anki Software and switch to your desired profile.
• Now run the example codes mentioned below...

Examples

• Create Deck

  
  

  # import api class from py-anki package
  from py_anki import AnkiApi
  
  # create an instance of the api class
  anki = AnkiApi()
  
  # store deck creation query
  deck = anki.create_deck('New Deck')
  
  # execute the query
  anki.exec(deck)
  

  Expected Result :
  
  
  
  

• Create Model / Note Type

  
  

  # import api class from py-anki package
  from py_anki import AnkiApi
  
  # create an instance of the api class
  anki = AnkiApi()
  
  # store model creation query
  model = anki.create_model('New Model')
  
  # execute the query
  anki.exec(model)
  

  Expected Result :
  
  
  
  

• Create Single Note

  
  

  # import api class from py-anki package
  from py_anki import AnkiApi
  
  # create an instance of the api class
  anki = AnkiApi()
  
  # populate note fields
  field1 = 'What is your name?' # for Front field
  field2 = 'arman_bhaai'
  note_fields = [field1,field2]
  
  # store note creation query
  note = anki.create_note(note_fields, deck_name='New Deck', model_name='New Model')
  
  # execute the query
  anki.exec(note)
  

  Expected Result :
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Create Multiple Notes with Media

  
  

  # import api class from py-anki package
  from py_anki import AnkiApi
  
  # create an instance of the api class
  anki = AnkiApi()
  
  # store picture from the web for Note 1
  note1_picture = anki.fetch_picture(
    url='https://images.all-free-download.com/images/graphiclarge/beautiful_flower_series_04_hd_pictures_166886.jpg', 
    filename='flower_jasmin.jpg',
    fields=['Front, Back']
  )
  
  # store audio from the web for Note 1
  note1_audio1 = anki.fetch_audio(
    url='https://lex-audio.useremarkable.com/mp3/jasmine_us_1.mp3', 
    filename='pronunc_jasmine.mp3', 
    fields=['Back']
  )
  
  # store another audio from the web for Note 1
  note1_audio2 = anki.fetch_picture(
    url='https://lex-audio.useremarkable.com/mp3/flower_us_1.mp3',
    filename='pronounc_flower.mp3',
    fields=['Back']
  )
  note1 = anki.create_note(
    field_vals=['What is the name of this flower?', 'Jasmine'],
    deck_name='Default',
    model_name='Basic',
    audios=[note1_audio1, note1_audio2],
    pictures=[note1_picture],
    making_note_list=True
  )
  
  # store picture from the web for Note 2
  note2_picture = anki.fetch_picture(
    url='https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/Green_dome%2C_Masjid_e_Nabawi%2C_Medina%2C_KSA.jpg', 
    filename='masjid-e-nawawi.jpg',
    fields=['Front']
  )
  
  # store audio from the web for Note 2
  note2_audio1 = anki.fetch_audio(
    url='https://lex-audio.useremarkable.com/mp3/medina_1_us_2.mp3', 
    filename='pronunc_medina.mp3', 
    fields=['Back']
  )
  
  # store note with populated fields and media
  note2 = anki.create_note(
    field_vals=['Masjid e Nawawi is located in?', 'Medina'],
    deck_name='Default',
    model_name='Basic',
    audios=[note2_audio1],
    pictures=[note2_picture],
    making_note_list=True
  )
  
  # store list of notes
  notes = anki.create_notes([note1, note2])
  
  # execute the query
  anki.exec(notes)
  

  Expected Result :
