Summary
There is currently no way for third-party tools to know when Yomitan has successfully added a note to Anki. Tools like asbplayer work around this by running a separate proxy process that intercepts AnkiConnect traffic, which is a significant setup burden for users.
A notification mechanism built into yomitan-api would allow third-party tools to react to note creation (e.g. to enrich the note with additional media) without requiring any extra software.
Use case
asbplayer users who want one-click mining from video currently need to run a separate Go WebSocket server manually to intercept Yomitan's AnkiConnect calls. If yomitan-api exposed a way to subscribe to note creation events, this could be replaced entirely with something users already have installed.
