Build Anki decks from code

Anki Forge turns notes, templates and media into Anki .apkg files. Use it when your learning content lives in code or structured data and you want to rebuild and distribute decks repeatedly.

Start with your language

Install a public package and export your first deck; choose your entry point.

Language	First result	Continue
Rust	Run the first-deck example	Add to your application
Node / TypeScript	Install and build your first deck	API and async behavior
Python	Install and export a deck	API and output ownership

Prefer to see the result first? Explore the card examples and download their generated packages.

Understand the pieces

A note holds fields; a note type and its templates turn those fields into cards. Decks group the resulting cards in Anki. The core concepts explain these relationships, owned Project values, and stable identity.

Build your next feature

• CSV to Anki: turn a vocabulary spreadsheet into an APKG with Python.
• JSON to Anki: generate cards with media and review an update in three languages.
• AI-assisted card generation: draft cards from your notes, review the answers and export an APKG.
• Basic and Cloze: create question/answer and fill-in-the-blank cards.
• Images and audio: register real assets and attach them to cards.
• Custom note types and template bundles: define fields, layouts and CSS.
• Image Occlusion: create questions from regions of an image.
• Update and distribute: carry identity and revision evidence between releases.

Card-type guides use runnable Rust examples; the CSV recipe uses Python and the JSON recipe covers all three languages. Node and Python API pages explain their corresponding interfaces and any differences.
