API updates and Wani

Bunpro
#1

So this is a general question on how API works and updates from Wanikani.

I added my API however long ago which has been nice, I can ease adding some vocab from Wani to Bunpro which is nice. It adds at a master level which is fine and dandy, however, lets say I completely forget a vocab and reset my Master level Wani down to an apprentice. Bunpro does not reflect that change. Should I be manually updating Bunpro every so often? Is that an intended feature that it wont reset itself? I have some beef with the kanji “生” and would love that those words reset here too, so that I’m getting that more much practice with them until they stick. But also don’t wanna have to come into bunpro and reset the word.

Can anyone explain a bit more on how API works in regards to that so I can figure my plan for problem vocab.

Hi there!

Just got word back regarding how this works BTS.

Currently it’s set up to not update on Bunpro if the WK counterpart changes.
Regardless of if you manually re-import, or use the daily sync feature.

The only things that will change are the new items in WK that you learn that pass the threshold for import (Guru and above).

Here is a support article that should explain some of the other details.

You can always fully wipe and resync your WK, by first resetting all Wanikani Vocab on the Reset page, then manually importing through the WK popout again.

Hope that helps!

I might have to do that then, or if I know specific words I’m struggling with go in and reset here. I’m not savvy enough with coding to even begin knowing to Google the question to receive the answer to the next question, but would it be possible to reflect Wani levels going down? Is this something I should toss into feedback?

Here is a good enough place to mention it!
Will keep it in mind, and I’ve also passed the suggestion onto the team.

This is great, I didn’t know it was possible to sync vocabulary with WK. Something I’m not sure about from the support article - if some item from WK (>Guru) is also already being learned in Bunpro, will it’s learning stage in Bunpro get overwrited to Seasoned, or stays as it is?

Also a +1 to the suggestion of having an option for more granular correspondence between WK and Bunpro levels, I think this would be great to preserve the SRS stages in a closer way, and also for spreading more the reviews according to them (this is the main reason I’m doubting about doing it, as would mean having a few hundred of items appearing together at every stage from now on)

It will stay as is.

Remember you can mark all WK Vocab as Mastered in Bunpro, so you wouldn’t have to do them multiple times.
