Hello, I’m going to try my hand at making a few API calls with wanikani so I can make some data visualizations around my learning. I have only done API calls a few times, so I will probably have questions about that when the time comes. For now, is it possible to get a list of all the kanji you’ve b…

It’s been a while, so I’m a bit rusty, but it might be worth to check @seanblue ’s SRS and leech breakdown script. In there, he has some code that counts all the kanji that are in a certain SRS category, and I’m pretty sure it’s possible to do this for the Lesson and Unlisted (or something) categorie…

I’m not clear whether your goal is to learn how to use the API, or whether you want to look at your kanji? If the latter, it’s always worthwhile to check out www.wkstats.com which shows you all the gory details :wink:

I think you should skim the WK API reference: https://docs.api.wanikani.com/ Even without using it, you get a good idea of what data is exposed and how it’s accessible.

Thanks this was great! I can get the assignments, but what I actually want is a list of the specific kanji. At a high level, I want to know this: 道：burned 寿：not learned Where I get the specific kanji and my progress in it. Is this possible?

You could use the export feature of my script Item Inspector to get exactly this. If you export the SRS stage you will know whether the item is burned or not learned (SRS is Locked or Initiate).

This is awesome! How did you go about “joining” it? Not sure if you have any script that I can look at for the API call. Thanks so much for your help and explanations.

The specific method of “joining” the data is up to you really. The API doesn’t provide this, so you need to request the assignment and subject data separately and then connect the data points in your code. How to do it will vary greatly depending on your lanaguage and library of choice. For example…
