Memparse

Memparse is a Memrise course parser. It can be used from the command line or from a function in a Node.js project.

CLI usage

First, globally install memparse: npm i --save -g memparse

memparse <courseId> [--file <output-file>]

  courseId - required course id, i.e. http://www.memrise.com/course/<courseId>
  --f, -f  - optional file name to write the output to,
             if none is provided it will be printed to the console

Output format to file is JSON, to console - prettified JSON.

Example command: memparse 1098046 -f output.json - will write this course to output.json:

{
  "course": "Spanish (Spain) 4",
  "levels": [
    {
      "name": "Relax with the Crew",
      "words": [
        {
          "word": "emocionante",
          "meaning": "exciting"
        },
      ...
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Node.js usage

Install memparse to node_modules: npm i --save memparse

Example

const memparse = require('memparse')(1098046)
memparse.parse()
  .then(json => console.log(json.levels[0].words[0]))

Output: { "word": "emocionante", "meaning": "exciting" }
