Is there a way I can set this so it asks english words and i type in the hiragana?

I am only getting Kanji meanings and not readings. Is this intended, or am I missing something obvious?
I have that problem, too. I see the readings in the cards when I browse the WaniKani Kanji deck, but Anki only prompts me for the meanings. How do I fix this? Also, I don’t seem to be getting the reverse cards in my reviews, even though I see them in the deck.
Something is broken in the way the script reads the configuration file, so for some options you need to manually hard-code them into the .py file itself.
Since there is the option to enter my mnemonics in this site (in addition to WaniKani’s original mnemonics) -I would like to download/include the mnemonics written by me, when I convert WaniKani’s kanjis/vocabulary to my Anki deck. Otherwise I have to write same mnemonics twice - both on the site as well as in my Anki decks. Can it be arranged? I think WaniKani does not give the opportunity to export user’s mnemonics in its API, yet, but maybe it can be arranged? That would be great!
The API exports meaning notes, reading notes, and user synonyms. Currently, this script just ignores them.

It’d be cool if this could also let you make your decks with common words only
Some items on WaniKani are great for recognition but not so much recall
I’m hoping that this will be updated at some point. It currently seems to be very broken.

I forked it and fixed the HTTP 503 errors.
Has anyone tried it yet?
amclean, I just tried the latest script you posted. I’m getting errors.
I’d really love to get this to work
I’ve tried both the original and the forked versions. Both work for me.
I know that Windows users tend to have the “I just want it to work” mentality, but you’re going to have to do a much better job at asking questions. One of the downsides of using Windows is that you never learn how to ask a question, because you usually don’t have to. Here is a handy-dandy guide to asking questions:
Step one: State what you’re doing.
“I’m trying to install this add-on”
Step two: State why you think it didn’t work. The symptoms
"I’m not seeing new decks in Anki. Additionally, a pop-up window appears that says “Error 261: The widgets are misaligned”.
- or -
"I don’t see any new Anki decks and there’s no obvious errors being given.
Step three: State what you tried doing.
"I modified line 3 from ‘@align: widgets’ to “@align: all widgets” but it didn’t seem to change anything
- or -
“I don’t know anything about programming, so I don’t know what to do and I’m stuck.”
Step four: Make a polite request.
“Can you please help me?”
hint: “pls fix 
” or “still broken TT” is completely unacceptable. If you get a response, it’s only because the guy replying to you is a REALLY nice guy.
I figured out why it didn’t work for me, since I’m level 50, there is a lot of data to grab and wanikani times out before the script can finish. There was another wanikani to anki script posted that allowed me to download 10 levels at a time to anki and that worked.

Or if anyone can post some code that would get the program to grab the data in chunks(so a timeout doesn't occur), that would be awesome.
I just downloaded from https://github.com/nigelkerr/wanikani2anki/archive/master.zip and it works fine on OSX.
Great little feature i was starting to wonder how i was going to move them to Anki! So thanks to the original poster for this!

It takes you to a website ( http://wanikanitoanki.com/ ), and it gives you many different options on how to download from Wanikani to Anki. I only wanted to download the vocab and if you hit "additional options" you can specify what levels you want. I did it in batches of 10, and it worked.
I have a suggestion: Add the verb type ( 一段 / 五段 ) to verbs (at least if they end with る). I think if you learn English -> Japanese this should be included and doing it manually is kinda… you know?
But I can understand if it can’t be implemented.
Anywho great work! Keep it up!
awesome thanks! i use it for reading to meaning learning and kaniwani for meaning to reading 
i could do both with this tool, but I also like typing in the solution at times^^
