get_audio_url, language_voices, etc. about duolingo

[addohm]

I think I found the source for the information. Contained within a lesson explanation, there is a HTML table which basically contains the voice names within the html anchor links. Could probably use bs4 to scrape it out easily if you didn't want to do it manually. self.user_data['language_data'][lang]['skills'][n]['explanation']. These links, however, are not in every explanation, so it might be necessary to iterate through the skill explanations to isolate the name.

"explanation": "<p>There are four main tones and one neutral tone in Mandarin Chinese to distinguish words and grammatical uses. </p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Tone</th>\n<th>Tone mark</th>\n<th>Pronunciation</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>The 1st tone</td>\n<td>“ˉ” like in mā</td>\n<td>High and flat (<a href=\"https://d1vq87e9lcf771.cloudfront.net/jiaoling/9420c9f11f68a53c9f3aab785935be99\">listen</a>)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The 2nd tone</td>\n<td>“ˊ” like in má</td>\n<td>Rising (<a href=\"https://d1vq87e9lcf771.cloudfront.net/jiaoling/44d0791f329ed28a30a9d17fa4b4f158\">listen</a>)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The 3rd tone</td>\n<td>“ˇ” like in mǎ</td>\n<td>Low then rising (<a href=\"https://d1vq87e9lcf771.cloudfront.net/jiaoling/11f22731028012457e2458e65ca5a2a5\">listen</a>)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The 4th tone</td>\n<td>“ˋ” like in mà</td>\n<td>Falling (<a href=\"https://d1vq87e9lcf771.cloudfront.net/jiaoling/abcf3dcc7397a7cb12ff77d6614f05d3\">listen</a>)</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>The neutral tone</td>\n<td>No mark like in ma</td>\n<td>Light (<a href=\"https://d1vq87e9lcf771.cloudfront.net/jiaoling/d34296b796bfcede214f232fcb77f84a\">listen</a>)</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Sometimes Chinese tones change based on the tone that follows it. There are three main places where you will see this: with all 3rd tones (low then rising tones), with the character 一 yī (1/one), and with the character 不 bù (no, not). Here we’ll take a quick look at how the 3rd tone changes. </p>\n<p>There are two main rules for how to pronounce the 3rd tone:\nWhen you have two 3rd tones together, the first one becomes a 2nd tone (rising tone).\nWhen you have a 3rd tone followed by any other non-3rd tone syllable, it only lowers, it doesn’t rise at the end.</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Chinese</th>\n<th>Pinyin</th>\n<th>Actual Pronunciation</th>\n<th>English</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>你好。</td>\n<td>Nǐ hǎo.</td>\n<td>Ní hǎo.

Here is a gist that does what I expect.

get_word_audio_url('你') outputs this url: 'https://d7mj4aqfscim2.cloudfront.net/tts/zs/jiaoling/你'

This requires the user to be logged in and assumes the requested language and word is in the users vocabulary. Without knowing more about the API, this is the best I could come up with in a couple hours. I've forked this package and will weave this in as I find time.

Looks like your gist is no longer working, as there's no links in explanations anymore?

This is fixed and tested now, closing ticket
