1. Duolingo4D

A most easily usable Duolingo API wrapper in Dart!

Duolingo4D is an open-sourced Dart library.
With Duolingo4D, you can easily integrate your application with the Duolingo API.

Duolingo4D is an unofficial library.

1.2. Introduction

1.2.1. Install Library

With Dart:

 dart pub add duolingo4d

With Flutter:

 flutter pub add duolingo4d

1.2.2. Import It

import 'package:duolingo4d/duolingo4d.dart';

1.2.3. Use Duolingo4D

The easiest way to use it is to get a singleton instance from Duolingo and call each method.

All response entities returned from the methods of Duolingo contain status codes and header information when HTTP communication is performed in internal processing.

For example, when performing the authentication process for a user, it will look like this:

void main() async {
  final duolingo = Duolingo.getInstance();

  final authResponse = await duolingo.authenticate(
    username: 'test_username',
    password: 'test_password',
  );

  if (authResponse.statusCode != 200) {
    // Client or Server error or something.
    authResponse.reasonPhrase;
    authResponse.headers;
    return;
  }

  if (authResponse.hasError) {
    // When there is an error on authentication.
    final authError = authResponse.error!;
    print(authError.code);
    print(authError.reason);

    authError.isInvalidUser; // Returns true if user is invalid.
    authError.isInvalidPassword; // Returns true if password is invalid.
    return;
  }

  // Do something if user is authenticated.
}

1.3. Using

1.3.1. Version Info API

Auth Required Snippet JSON
❌ final response = await Duolingo.getInstance().versionInfo(); Check!

The Version Info API allows you to fetch metadata about the configuration of Duolingo services.
This metadata includes the TTS data used to play back the audio of the words, as well as mapping information for the languages supported by Duolingo.

void main() async {
  final duolingo = Duolingo.getInstance();

  final versionInfoResponse = await duolingo.versionInfo();
  final ttsVoiceConfiguration = versionInfoResponse.ttsVoiceConfiguration;

  for (final voiceDirections in ttsVoiceConfiguration.voiceDirections) {
    print(voiceDirections.language);
    print(voiceDirections.voice);
  }
}

1.3.2. Authentication API

Auth Required Snippet JSON
❌ final response = await Duolingo.getInstance().authenticate(username: ‘test_username’, password: ‘test_password’,); Check!

You can use username and password to authenticate user registered with Duolingo. The registered e-mail address can be used for authentication in addition to the username.

In order to fetch the response you expect from each API that requires authentication, at first you need to use this authentication API to authenticate that the username and password entered are valid.

Note:
When a user is authenticated, the cookie information and session information for the Duolingo service is managed internally by Duolingo4D, so there is no need to be aware of this information after calling the API.

void main() async {
  final duolingo = Duolingo.getInstance();

  final authResponse = await duolingo.authenticate(
    username: 'test_username',
    password: 'test_password',
  );

  if (authResponse.status.isNotOk) {
    // Client or Server error or something.
    authResponse.status.reasonPhrase;
    authResponse.headers;
    return;
  }

  if (authResponse.hasError) {
    // When there is an error on authentication.
    final authError = authResponse.error!;
    print(authError.code);
    print(authError.reason);

    authError.isInvalidUser; // Returns true if user is invalid.
    authError.isInvalidPassword; // Returns true if password is invalid.
    return;
  }

  // Do something if user is authenticated.
}

Note:
If you try to authenticate again using information from an account that has already been authenticated, the Duolingo API will return an invalid password response.

1.3.3. User API

Auth Required Snippet JSON
✅ final response = await Duolingo.getInstance().user(userId: authResponse.userId); Check!

From the User API, you can get detailed user information associated with the user ID.

The user ID is included in the response returned when the user authentication is completed. Please refer to the following implementation for details.

The user information also includes all the course information and skill information user have learned.

If user authentication has not been completed, data cannot be fetched.

void main() async {
  final duolingo = Duolingo.getInstance();

  final authResponse = await duolingo.authenticate(
    username: 'test_username',
    password: 'test_password',
  );

  final userResponse = await duolingo.user(userId: authResponse.userId);

  print(userResponse.name);
  print(userResponse.lingots);

  for (final course in userResponse.courses) {
    print(course.title);
    print(course.xp);
  }

  for (final skill in userResponse.currentCourse.skills) {
    if (skill.isAccessible) {
      print(skill.name);
      print(skill.proficiency);
      print(skill.tipsAndNotes);
    }
  }
}

1.3.4. Overview API

Auth Required Snippet JSON
✅ final response = await Duolingo.getInstance().overview(); Check!

From the Overview API, you can fetch information about all the words you have learned in the course you have selected. The details that can be retrieved about a word will vary depending on the course and word.

If user authentication has not been completed, data cannot be fetched.

void main() async {
  final duolingo = Duolingo.getInstance();

  final authResponse = await duolingo.authenticate(
    username: 'test_username',
    password: 'test_password',
  );

  final overviewResponse = await duolingo.overview();

  for (final vocabulary in overviewResponse.vocabularies) {
      print(vocabulary.word);
  }
}

1.3.5. Word Hint API

Auth Required Snippet JSON
❌ final response = await Duolingo.getInstance().wordHint(fromLanguage: ‘en’, learningLanguage: ‘es’, sentence: ‘boligrafos’,); Check!

You can fetch hint information for any word or sentence from the Word Hint API. Since the hint information is hint data managed by Duolingo, the accuracy of the translation data cannot be guaranteed.

The argument learningLanguage should be the language code corresponding to the word, and fromLanguage should be the language code corresponding to the hint. The sentence can be sentences as well as single words.

void main() async {
  final duolingo = Duolingo.getInstance();

  final wordHintResponse = await duolingo.wordHint(
    fromLanguage: 'en',
    learningLanguage: 'es',
    sentence: 'boligrafos',
  );

  for (final token in wordHintResponse.tokens) {
    final headers = token.table.headers;
    for (final header in headers) {
      print(header.selected);
      print(header.token);
    }

    final rows = token.table.rows;
    for (final row in rows) {
      for (final cell in row.cells) {
        print(cell.hint);
      }
    }
  }
}

1.3.6. Switch Language API

Auth Required Snippet
✅ final response = await Duolingo.getInstance().switchLanguage(fromLanguage: ‘es’, learningLanguage: ‘en’,);

The Switch Language API allows you to switch between the courses supported by Duolingo. The mapping information for the courses that can be switched using the Switch Language API can be obtained from the Version Info API.

For the argument learningLanguage, specify the language to be learned after switching. And for fromLanguage, specify the language to be used when learning that learningLanguage.

void main() async {
  final duolingo = Duolingo.getInstance();

  final authResponse = await duolingo.authenticate(
    username: 'test_username',
    password: 'test_password',
  );

  final switchLanguageResponse = await duolingo.switchLanguage(
    fromLanguage: 'es',
    learningLanguage: 'en',
  );

  print(switchLanguageResponse.statusCode);
  print(switchLanguageResponse.reasonPhrase);
}
