Overview Anki is a powerful spaced repetition software, but manually creating thousands of flashcards is inefficient. Many users have vocabulary lists, trivia databases, or educational content stored in structured formats like XML. Converting this data into an .apkg file (Anki Deck Package) allows for mass-importing of cards, preserving scheduling data, media, and formatting.
# 2. Define the Deck def get_deck_id(): return random.randrange(1 << 30, 1 << 31)
my_model = genanki.Model( get_model_id(), 'Simple XML Vocabulary Model', fields=[ {'name': 'Word'}, {'name': 'Definition'}, {'name': 'Image'}, # Field for media ], templates=[ { 'name': 'Card 1', 'qfmt': '{{Word}}<br>{{Image}}', # Front of card 'afmt': '{{FrontSide}}<hr id="answer">{{Definition}}', # Back of card }, ], css='.card { font-family: arial; font-size: 20px; text-align: center; color: black; background-color: white; }' )
my_deck = genanki.Deck( get_deck_id(), 'XML Imported Vocabulary' )
# Create the package # If you have media, you pass them in the media_files list my_package = genanki.Package(my_deck, media_files=media_files)
