Include JLPT tag in API word search result
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When using the API, found words don't include their JLPT tag while they're displayed on the website search
Describe the solution you'd like The "words" json entry should contain the JLPT tag of that word
Describe alternatives you've considered
Additional context
I agree. I've already encountered this issue but unfortunately I don't want to change the API since it could break existing programs. I'm going to add a new version of the API which will include the JLPT information.
This is currently out of scope. There is a new, undocumented, API which you could use but this can be changed later at any time. For a V2 I'd like to wait and collect more data that will be included in the new API version so we don't have to change the API all the time.
I came here to suggest the very same thing :D
I also wanted to suggest including the "main" example sentence that appears when you search for a term in the API search results.
Either that OR tag/sort the results returned when calling /api/search/sentences, so we can grab the "top" sentence. Right now, the sentences on the main search results aren't even guaranteed to be in that list, I realized. (Try searching via the API for 嵐, for example.)
I'd be happy to file a separate issue for this request if you'd prefer!
Separately, I also wanted to say: thank you for jotoba! It's awesome.
