Yomitoku, a transliterator for Spanish Language
I remember stumbling upon a JMDict/Json Project here, but I have never used it since it didn't fit my needs (the Spanish glosses are way simpler than the English ones, so many tags are not used).

What is your workflow for adding new words to Anki deck for language learning?
I wish I would of known about Yomichan years ago, I can see a lot of work went into the project. Yes, for most web pages a Chrome extension should be able to get the sentence that the word came from. The relevant code for Yomichan might be from this page https://github.com/FooSoft/yomichan/blob/master/ext/js/app/frontend.js

Are there any sites out there that give the reference number for kanji? I use the Kodansha Kanji Learner's course and it would save me a ton of time instead of having to look for it via stroke count.
Consider trying Yomichan. In the popup dictionary, click on the Kanji. If you scroll down, there are a bunch of reference numbers for different Kanji books and dictionaries (including Kodansha Compact Kanji Guide and Kodansha Kanji Dictionary).
