Oxford API has changed their API and this program no longer works. You are welcome to make a fork of it and adapt it, but I believe the Terms and Conditions changed as well and it might not be possible/legal to make something like AnkiMaker any more (or at least not using Oxford API). I did some work on including a Wiktionary parser 7 years ago, but I didn't get very far. However Wiktionary does have an API that I seem to have missed when I started making that parser, and which could probably be used in place of the Oxford API. Better yet, it could be used for languages other than English.
In any case I have found that makin my Anki cards by hand results in better retention, so you might be better served by not using any automation tools for this.
AnkiMaker lets you automatically create Anki Decks out of your Kindle vocabulary lists and the OED.
- The Vocabulary Builder's list of your Kindle is under [Your Kindle filesystem]/system/vocabulary/vocab.db.
- Get credentials for the OED's API. Go here and create a Free account. This will grant you 3000 word lookups a month, which is probably enough (and if it isn't you can just make another account). Then click on Credentials and open None's app. This will show you your Application ID and your Application Keys
Linux users can download the Python file. To execute it you'll need to have genanki and requests installed. You can do:
pip install genanki
pip install requests
mkdir ankimaker && cd ankimaker
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carllacan/ankimaker/master/ankimaker.py
python ankimaker
A packaged version is not available yet.
No installation required. Just download the Windows executable and open it.
