reading of jukugo

[lingolab2]

I'd like get the reading of a jukugo. The following provides meaning but not the reading. How can one achieve this?

jisho.scrapeForPhrase('電車').then((data) => {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
});

You can use searchForPhrase instead:

jisho.searchForPhrase('電車').then((data) => {
  const reading = data.data[0].japanese[0].reading;
  console.log(reading);
});

scrapeForPhrase should only be used for things that searchForPhrase doesn't have.

works perfectly thank you. any chance to get at newspaper frequency if available?

That is in the kanji search results:

const JishoApi = require('unofficial-jisho-api');
const jisho = new JishoApi();

jisho.searchForKanji('語').then(result => {
  console.log('Newspaper frequency rank: ' + result.newspaperFrequencyRank);
});

this would work only for Kanji and not for compound words (jukugo), right?

Yes, I didn't think Jisho.org shows newspaper frequency for anything except single kanji search results. Am I mistaken?

you’re most likely right. wanted to refresh existing data about jukugo. probably from some other source. i’ll search. thanks
