Card creation is blocked by Anki official API - what to do next?

Hi all,

Unfortunately after the latest changes in Anki official API, our plugin stopped to save the new cards. After a discussion with Anki support, it became clear that current approach with direct saving is forbidden.

So now I'm thinking about possible ways to change plugin and make it useful again. The only one idea right now is to save all cards to a local file which later can be imported into Anki desktop application (e.g. tab-separated CSV file)

Please share your ideas about possible future of the Anki-Adder-Plus plugin

Sounds like a good idea, maybe the file can be saved inside chrome, so that entering data via Anki Adder can be done on multiple PCs/Macs and that get imported to Anki from any PC/Mac?

Please see this "Anki划词制卡助手" in Chrome Extensions. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/anki-%E5%88%92%E8%AF%8D%E5%88%B6%E5%8D%A1%E5%8A%A9%E6%89%8B/ajencmdaamfnkgilhpgkepfhfgjfplnn It used an Anki Addon "ankiconnect.py". https://ninja33.github.io/20160817/anki-connect/ Download: https://ninja33.github.io/20160817/anki-connect/ankiconnect.py

Well, I saw your post on Anki official support forum. Actually, my plug-in's "one click save to Anki web" function was inspired by Anki adder plus.

Please check https://github.com/ninja33/anki-dict-helper/commit/2e28374590515332a511d2bce9253728efe2f909 for solution.

According to google chrome extension guidance, basically, it is trying to fix cross domain XHR post problem. Hope it can provide help. If there is any questions, please let me know.

@ninja33 thank you a lot, I will investigate this functionality :)

Thank you for your work! This extension is needed indeed.

So what's the current version or any other extension instead?

AlexandrBobtsov avatar Jan 01 '18 11:01 AlexandrBobtsov

Maybe you can addNotes through Anki Connect,but needing manual sync.

Is develompent completely stopped after that? The extension is still in webstore being completely nonfunctional.

AnkiConnect seems like quite feasable solution.

Sad to hear about that. I think Anki is a nice application, inspired by good intentions and it would be great if the one could use Anki API to create their own apps. This limitations are ridiculous.

I've patched google translate plugin to submit words into anki via anki connect: https://github.com/razum2um/google-translate-anki

downsides:

  • manual sync
  • anki should be constantly running
  • not sure about initial plugin license and if it's legal to change/publish

There is also Online Dictionary Helper extension by @ninja33 which looks pretty universal. It uses the same anki connect bridge and thus shares the same limitations as aforementioned solution (except licensing issue).

Trying to figure out which one suits best for me..
