wkcheck is a command-line tool to access information from your WaniKani account.

$ gem install wanikani

Before using wkcheck, you need to set up the WaniKani API key from your account. You need to use the --api-key flag to save your API Key for future use. This only needs to be done once. A file will be created in ~/.wkcheck.yml with your API Key. The key can be found in your account settings.

$ wkcheck --api-key=YOUR_WANIKANI_API_KEY

Once the API Key is saved, you can check fetch different types of information from your WaniKani account (run wkcheck to see the different options).
