jisho-js

JavaScript wrapper around the jisho.org search Web API.

Details

The library provides functions to query words directly through the exposed search API endpoint, with different possible crateria, like

• JLPT levels

• WaniKani levels

• Word commonality

• Additional filter tags like #wasei to search for wasei eigo words

Unlike existing JavaScript packages, it does not scrape the HTML output of returned results.

Limitations

• Many filter flags mentioned in the docs are not supported by the Web API, however some obvious combinations don't work in the Web UI either (for instance, the #adjective tag often returns non-adjective words for a given query).

• Kanji results are not supported by the Web API, however these would likely contain different information than word results.

• The Web API always returns HTTP 200 even when the response is empty or the input was not correctly formatted.
