Description:

unofficial jisho api

unofficial_jisho_api #




A rewrite of the unofficial-jisho-api
Usage #
Below are some basic examples.
Word/phrase search (provided by official Jisho API) #
This returns the same results as the official Jisho.org API. See the discussion of that here.
import 'package:unofficial_jisho_api/api.dart' as jisho;

void main() async {
jisho.searchForPhrase('日').then((result) {
...
...
...
});
}

Kanji search #
import 'dart:convert' show jsonEncode;
import 'package:unofficial_jisho_api/api.dart' as jisho;

void main() async {
await jisho.searchForKanji('語').then((result) {
print('Found: ${result.found}');

final data = result.data;
if (data != null) {
print('Kanji: ${data.kanji}');
print('Taught in: ${data.taughtIn}');
print('JLPT level: ${data.jlptLevel}');
print('Newspaper frequency rank: ${data.newspaperFrequencyRank}');
print('Stroke count: ${data.strokeCount}');
print('Meaning: ${data.meaning}');
print('Kunyomi: ${jsonEncode(data.kunyomi)}');
print('Kunyomi example: ${jsonEncode(data.kunyomiExamples[0])}');
print('Onyomi: ${jsonEncode(data.onyomi)}');
print('Onyomi example: ${jsonEncode(data.onyomiExamples[0])}');
print('Radical: ${jsonEncode(data.radical)}');
print('Parts: ${jsonEncode(data.parts)}');
print('Stroke order diagram: ${data.strokeOrderDiagramUri}');
print('Stroke order SVG: ${data.strokeOrderSvgUri}');
print('Stroke order GIF: ${data.strokeOrderGifUri}');
print('Jisho Uri: ${data.uri}');
}
});
}

Example search #
import 'dart:convert' show jsonEncode;
import 'package:unofficial_jisho_api/api.dart' as jisho;

void main() async {
await jisho.searchForExamples('日').then((result) {
print('Jisho Uri: ${result.uri}');
print('');

for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
var example = result.results[i];
print(example.kanji);
print(example.kana);
print(example.english);
print(jsonEncode(example.pieces));
print('');
}
});
}
copied to clipboard
This outputs the following:
Jisho Uri: https://jisho.org/search/%E6%97%A5%23sentences

日本人ならそんなことはけっしてしないでしょう。
にほんじんならそんなことはけっしてしないでしょう。
A Japanese person would never do such a thing.

Word/phrase scraping #
This scrapes the word/phrase page on Jisho.org. This can get you some data that the official API doesn't have, such as JLPT level and part-of-speech. The official API (searchForPhrase) should be preferred if it has the data you need.
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:unofficial_jisho_api/api.dart' as jisho;
final JsonEncoder encoder = JsonEncoder.withIndent(' ');

void main() async {
await jisho.scrapeForPhrase('谷').then((data) {
print(encoder.convert(data));
});
}
copied to clipboard
This outputs the following:
{
"found": true,
"query": "谷",
"data": {
"uri": "https://jisho.org/word/%E8%B0%B7",
"tags": [
"Common word",

The terms U-shaped and V-shaped are descriptive terms of geography to characterize the form of valleys. Most valleys belong to one of these two main types or a mixture of them, (at least) with respect of the cross section of the slopes or hillsides.",

Parsing HTML strings #
You can provide the HTML responses from Jisho yourself. This can be useful if you need to use a CORS proxy or something. You can do whatever you need to do to get the HTML and then provide it to this module's parsing functions. For example:
Parse kanji page HTML #
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'package:unofficial_jisho_api/parser.dart' as jisho_parser;

final JsonEncoder encoder = JsonEncoder.withIndent(' ');

const String searchKanji = '車';
final String searchURI = jisho_parser.uriForKanjiSearch(searchKanji);

void main() async {
await http.get(searchURI).then((result) {
final parsedResult = jisho_parser.parseKanjiPageData(result.body, searchKanji);
final data = parsedResult.data;
if (data != null) {
print('JLPT level: ${data.jlptLevel}');
print('Stroke count: ${data.strokeCount}');
print('Meaning: ${data.meaning}');
}
});
}
copied to clipboard
Parse example page HTML #
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'package:unofficial_jisho_api/parser.dart' as jisho_parser;

final JsonEncoder encoder = JsonEncoder.withIndent(' ');

const String searchExample = '保護者';
final String searchURI = jisho_parser.uriForExampleSearch(searchExample);

void main() async {
await http.get(searchURI).then((result) {
final parsedResult = jisho_parser.parseExamplePageData(result.body, searchExample);
print('English: ${parsedResult.results[0].english}');
print('Kanji ${parsedResult.results[0].kanji}');
print('Kana: ${parsedResult.results[0].kana}');
});
}
copied to clipboard
Parse phrase page HTML #
import 'dart:convert';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
import 'package:unofficial_jisho_api/parser.dart' as jisho_parser;

final JsonEncoder encoder = JsonEncoder.withIndent(' ');

const String searchExample = '保護者';
final String searchURI = jisho_parser.uriForPhraseScrape(searchExample);

void main() async {

await http.get(searchURI).then((result) {
final parsedResult = jisho_parser.parsePhrasePageData(result.body, searchExample);
print(encoder.convert(parsedResult));
});
}

Note on usage with web #
Although the library is marked as ok for use with website outputs, you will not be able to reach through the CORS setup of jisho.org. You should set up a backend as a proxy if you want to make a website. See (#3)
About #
Permission to scrape granted by Jisho's admin Kimtaro: https://jisho.org/forum/54fefc1f6e73340b1f160000-is-there-any-kind-of-search-api
Notes #
The null-safety of dart 2.12 makes the parsing and interpreting of the native search API a little unreliable. Please be cautious when using jisho.searchForPhrase(), and if you do, please read the API docs about the different result values.
