WaniKani Private C# API

A C# library to interface with the private & undocumented API of the kanji learning service, WaniKani. This library was written to provide developers a means to build their own WaniKani client applications in C#, and as such, make WaniKani a more rich and exciting place to learn Japanese!

This library is super young right now, and it's terribly thin and flimsy.

Examples

Get the user's review queue & update an item's progress

// Log in
var wanikani = new WaniKaniClient();
var user = wanikani.Login(username, password);

// Gather the user's review queue
var reviewClient = new WaniKaniReviewClient(user);
var reviews = reviewClient.GetReviews();

// Update the SRS progress for the first item in the queue.
// Parameters indicate the number of failed attempts.
reviewClient.UpdateItemProgress(
    card: reviews.Queue[0], 
    meaningFailures: 0, 
    readingFailures: 0);
