Shameless plug: I made apy [0] that allows more or less the same functionality, and more, from the command line. Some things I like about apy that I never found from any alternative solutions:

* I communicate directly with the local Anki database - no need to keep Anki open and use any ankiconnect type plugin.

* I can sync the database before and after with "apy sync".

* I can easily add single cards from the command line. And I can add mulitple notes from a Markdown formatted file simultaneously.

* I can easily edit cards that I have marked to specifically change in some way (I find it useful to adjust cards).

That's a really well written app. I'll look at it more. I briefly tried to work with the database but found it really confusing and would take a lot of time trying to work with
Thanks! I did spend some time to make it work well with Anki, and I do spend some time once in a while to keep it up to date with the changes to the Anki code. But once I got it working, I've never turned back.

One of the nice wins for me was that I could batch update ~200 geography notes that had some outdated numbers.
