CLI interface
It would be great if we could access the the program or at least some subset of the featureset through the commandline.
I'd love to be able to pass a search phrase or term into the program via a bash script.
There're JMDict and Kanjidict2 which are also used for creating database of tagainijisho. If you're experienced in XML, you can use them to make a cli japanese dictionary. Also, sqlite versions are exist, iirc.
Another option is mecab with edict2. (Works on my archlinux)
Due to databases are ready to use, in my opinion, it's not necessary to code a CLI API right now.
I agree such an option would be nice, but it's still a niche feature and thus I won't make it a priority. Depends on what you want exactly - do you expect the results to also appear in the console, or do you just want to drive the GUI through the command line?

The top use case I can imagine scripting for:
Highlight a word in a browser or document, use a key combo to pass that word into a list in tagainijisho
I'm sorry for bumping such an ancient issue, but this is pretty much the only feature I feel is missing from this tool. The ability to simply provide the starting query like "tagainijisho steel" | "tagainijisho hagane" | "tagainijisho 鋼" would be sweet for my workflow. A workaround using X automation with clipboard and delayed paste can do the trick but I feel those methods can break any day, so it'd be so nice to be able to do this out of the box.
