ChinesePodAPI

ChinesePod is an absolutely fantastic resource for students of Chinese, I cannot recommend it highly enough. They recently also started providing an API. This package provides Haskell bindings that provide a nice typed interface on top of the ChinesePod API, which smooths over the irregularities in the underlying ChinesePod database. It currently provides access to the following resources:

account/login
account/logout
account/get-user-info
lesson/get-lesson
library/get-latest-lessons
library/search-lessons

which is enough to list all available lessons and get all details for each of them (description, vocabulary, expansion, grammar, etc.). I've tested the bindings against the full ChinesePod database (as of Sunday Jan 28, 2018; all 4083 lessons).

NOTE: In addition to a (premium) subscription user account, you will also need an API access code in order to be able to use these bindings. You will need to contact ChinesePod to apply for one.
