Hi, first of all thank you for the awesome addon. It’s helped me a big and fat deck hehe.
That said I’m now getting a strange problem, it used to work perfectly but now it says ‘Authentication didn’t work as expected, check Username/Password’ and won’t download anything. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the addon and Anki itself, as well as changing my credentials on Reverso, but it still doesn’t work. Is there anything that can be done?
copy and paste from the favourites list in reverso (View>Show Context)
dump into a LLM (Gemini or Chatgpt) and ask them to give me a list of just the words, then just the context sentence
paste into columns in Google Sheets
export > export as csv
import > import csv in anki (still use Reverso card type etc.)
I only want the word and the sentence, so a little more pasting if you want/use more ‘fields’ from reverso. But doesn’t take that long at all in practice. Hopefully might help someone until this gets a fix.
I’ll surely have a look at the authentication mechanism in the next few days.
the reason I didn’t yet realize it is that they changed something more… now they don’t just have the favorites but the lists.
So I need to port the whole User Interface to that, and that requires more time.
I was used to select just favourites and I can’t do that anymore, I need to add words into a list and pick from there.
But for sure I’ll fix it…
Could you please describe the problem a little bit? I would like to try to edit the code. This plugin is very necessary for me to learn, as it helped me to save words even from the free version of Reverso. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough money to subscribe to the Reverso Premium version to save tables in Excel.
authentication changed. At first look I have not understood how it is working now. Idea would be to have a simple python script to test authenthication
previous mode with “history” (all searched terms) and “favourites” (terms you flagged as such) is superceded. Now you can flag with the name of a list an retrieve that list. We should:
a. change the UI so that you can select a list
b. specify that list in the request
it depends… if you have a reasonable comprehension of the issues above, you’re welcome.
If you don’t… lets say it’s always nice to know that somebody is appreciating my job and waiting for it to be fixed… and I’ll try to hurry up. I had a bad issue with my pc and I should recover all data in a couple of days.
Hello, @sandro! Thank you for your answer!
Yes, I have. But I didn’t find any info about API Reverso to test authenthiation. I ask Reverso help about it, but havent received answer.
What did you use for these purposes?
I’m not using official api, I just emulated what a page does.
In fact I didn’t have the time to see what changed.
When you authenticate with reverso we send a whole html page (rather than a simple api call), From then on api call are used. It may be the endpoint of the authentication changed and may be as simple as change the endpoint.
If you agree we can continue on a private email, mainly becouse I think this can be considered noise to most Anki users. You can write me to sandro.dentella@gmail.com
I managed to get the time to fix this addon and now you should be able to authenticate again into Reverso.
I will add management of the lists as Reverso migrated from simple flag to “prefer” an item to a multitude of lists.
I hope people that downvoted it can now enjoy the fix and review the vote!
Thank you so much!
I have just connected to Reverso using my credentials from your addon.
But I can not see cards in my deck. I did everthing.(reload anki and used another deck)
Hi. Thanks for your addon. Please add audio and transcription to cards. You can fetch data from other resources if it’s difficult directly from Reverso. Something like in a picture below.
