I created a MacOS/iOS Shortcut to query word lists from the Oxford Dictionaries and to provide an output compatible with Anki (.CSV) — I hope it's useful for someone out here
1 project | /r/Anki | 13 Feb 2022

To give it some context: I built the Shortcut because the wonderful add-ons available at this point either only pull complete definitions into a single card (thus making it harder work to respect the minimum information principle), or ignore sub-meanings and homonyms. Also, I'm not a programmer, and the python script I wrote is clunky.
A Shortcut to Query Oxford Definitions & Examples for a List of Words
1 project | /r/shortcuts | 13 Feb 2022

I'm not a programmer, but I first developed this idea using python, and I posted the code in this repo: https://github.com/Barthcbb/Python-Query-Oxford-API-for-Anki It was perhaps the most exhaustive thing I did last year. I'm sure programmers would find it piece of cake.

Wordquery and Wiktionary
1 project | /r/Anki | 22 Mar 2022

I want to use the Wiktionary dumps in kaikki.org to be able to add definitions to my files. The FastQueryAddon only works for mdict and stardict which aren't very useful outside of Chinese (mdict) and limited definitions (stardict). I don't know much coding but I dabble until it works usually. Can someone at least point me in the right direction or file to change in the https://github.com/sth2018/Fastwordquery directory to get it to read the json from kaikki.org and return definitions?
