Jisho Bot

A simple discord bot implementing the Jisho API. This bot aims to provide all the information typically available on the website in a neat discord embed interface.

What can it do?

As of right now, the Bot displays all the information from Jisho's search page as an interactive discord embed. It includes information about

• Spelling and Reading
• Meanings and Definitions
• JLPT grades and Wanikani levels

It now also delivers information about Kanji, including

• Kun/On Readings
• Stroke count
• Radicals

The embed is interactive and can be controlled via Reactions. This will then show the next/previous entry. Right now, only the latest embed will be interactive, so if you use the bot again the previous responses will become inactive.

How do I get it?

Either invite a bot I am hosting or set it up yourself. Note that if you invite the bot you won't be able to change its prefix!

Usage

To perform a normal dictionary search, use

-[search|s] <query>

To perform a kanji search, use

-[kanji|k] <kanji(s)>

The prefix can be changed in the config file.

Setup

Clone this repo, create a config.json in the root directory with the following layout

{
    "key": Your discord bot token,
    "prefix": Your prefix,
}
