## What it is
AnkiConnect is an Anki plugin that exposes a local HTTP/JSON remote API for programmatically creating and managing flash cards, decks, and note media. It lets external scripts and tools automate Anki operations such as adding notes, invoking actions, and syncing.

## Use cases
- automatically create anki flashcards from a script
- add notes to anki from a pdf or epub reader
- bulk import vocabulary cards into anki
- control anki remotely via http api
- integrate yomichan or browser tools with anki
- script anki deck management and syncing

## When to choose
- you want to automate Anki card creation from external tools or scripts
- you need a JSON-over-HTTP interface to Anki's database
- you're building integrations like dictionary popups or language-learning pipelines

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone flashcard app rather than an Anki extension
- you don't use Anki desktop
- you need a supported license or hosted service

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: api-framework, http-server, middleware
- domain: education, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: anki, flashcards, spaced-repetition, remote-api, -api, automation, desktop
