Does KameSame have an API?

I’ve noticed that I struggle if I miss a day of WaniKani and I decided to force myself to study whenever there are words to practice. To do this, I wrote a shortcut that runs on several times an hour to remind myself to study. The way it works is that it pulls the number of outstanding characters and if there is more than a few to study, it opens up the WaniKani review page.
