Methods
- Description:
- Scrape the word page for a word/phrase. This allows you to
get some information that isn't provided by the official API, such as
part-of-speech and JLPT level. However, the official API should be preferred
if it has the information you need. This function scrapes https://jisho.org/word/XXX.
In general, you'll want to include kanji in your search term, for example 掛かる
instead of かかる (no results).
