Yes, Anki does have a Python API. There are several Python libraries available that allow you to interact with Anki [1][4]:
1. genanki: This is a Python library that allows you to generate Anki decks programmatically. You can create custom flashcards and decks using Python code [1].
2. ankipandas: This library is not widely known as of last update in September 2021. It might be a new tool that was developed after last updated [3].
3. AnkiConnect: AnkiConnect is an Anki plugin that enables external applications to communicate with Anki over a simple HTTP API. It provides various capabilities, including querying and modifying your Anki deck using API calls [7].
4. anki: Anki provides an official Python package that can be used to access your Anki collection and associated media. It allows you to perform operations on your Anki collection programmatically [2].
5. py-anki: Till last update in September 2021, there wasn't a widely recognized Python package named `py-anki`. It might have been developed after the last update or is not well-known in the Anki community [5].
6. AnkiTools: This is a Python library that allows you to read and edit Anki `*.apkg and collection.anki2` files. It also includes a module on AnkiConnect [8].

There are third-party tools and packages that allow you to create Anki cards programmatically using Python. These tools often use Anki's AnkiConnect API to interact with Anki programmatically and create cards from data or text.
