Braille JSON API

The full braille tables as static JSON. No key, no rate limit, CORS open. It is a file on a CDN, so it is as fast and as reliable as this page.

Endpoints

All endpoints are GET, return JSON, and allow cross-origin requests
Endpoint	Contents
`/api/alphabet.json`	The 26 letters with dot numbers, Unicode characters and decade.
`/api/numbers.json`	The ten digits and the number sign.
`/api/punctuation.json`	Punctuation and symbols, including multi-cell forms.
`/api/contractions.json`	Grade 2 wordsigns and groupsigns with position rules.
`/api/full.json`	Everything above in one document.

Example

fetch("https://braillechart.com/api/alphabet.json")
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data.letters[0]));

// { "letter": "a", "dots": "1", "char": "⠁", "decade": 1, ... }

Terms

Use it for anything. The tables are public-domain facts. A link back is appreciated but not required.

If you want the translator itself rather than the data, there is an embeddable widget.
