Duolingo Tracker

Fetch and display Duolingo learning stats: streak, XP, league, level, course progress, and daily/weekly summaries. Use this skill whenever the user asks about their Duolingo progress, streak, how much XP they've earned, what league they're in, or wants a learning summary. Trigger on phrases like "check my Duolingo", "what's my streak", "Duolingo stats", "how am I doing on Duolingo", or "my language learning progress".

Duolingo Tracker Skill

Fetch Duolingo user stats via the unofficial Duolingo API. No official API key required — uses the same endpoints the Duolingo web app uses.

---

Authentication setup

Duolingo does not offer an official public API. The tracker uses the cookie-based session token from an active browser session.

One-time setup:

1. Log in to duolingo.com in your browser
2. Open DevTools → Application → Cookies → duolingo.com
3. Copy the value of the jwt_token cookie
4. Save it: export DUOLINGO_JWT="your_token_here"

Alternatively the user can provide their username only — a subset of public stats is available without auth.

https://www.duolingo.com/2017-06-30

All requests should include:

Authorization: Bearer $DUOLINGO_JWT   # omit if unauthenticated

bash

curl -s "https://www.duolingo.com/2017-06-30/users?username=USERNAME&fields=streak,xpGoal,xpGoalMetToday,lingots,totalXp,currentCourse,courses,streakData" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUOLINGO_JWT" \

Fetch leaderboard / league info

bash

# Get user ID first from profile, then:
curl -s "https://duolingo-leaderboards-prod.duolingo.com/leaderboards/7d9f5dd1-8423-491a-91f2-2532052038d8/users/USER_ID?get_users_only=true" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUOLINGO_JWT"

Fetch XP summary (last 7 days)

bash

curl -s "https://www.duolingo.com/2017-06-30/users/USER_ID/xp_summaries?startDate=YYYY-MM-DD" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DUOLINGO_JWT"

Set startDate to 7 days ago. Returns daily XP totals — use these to show a mini chart or bar summary.

---

Displaying results

Present stats in this format:

text

🔥 Streak: 47 days  (longest: 93 days)
⭐ Today: 150 XP / 100 XP goal ✓
📚 Active course: Spanish (es) — 3,420 XP, 42 crowns
🏆 League: Gold  |  Weekly XP: 892

Weekly XP:
Mon ████████ 180
Tue ██████   120
Wed █████    100
Thu ████████ 160
Fri ██████   132
Sat ███      60 
Sun ████████ 140

If the daily goal is not yet met, flag it clearly so the user knows to practice today.

---

Public stats (no auth required)

For users who don't want to share their JWT, these endpoints work without auth for public profiles:

bash

curl -s "https://www.duolingo.com/users/USERNAME" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Returns streak, learning_language, level, totalXp, courses. Fewer fields but sufficient for a quick summary.

---

Common issues

Problem	Fix
401 Unauthorized	JWT expired — user needs to re-copy token from browser
Empty streak data	User hasn't practiced in 7+ days (streak likely 0)
Username not found	Check exact username (case-sensitive) on duolingo.com/profile
Rate limited (429)	Wait 60 seconds before retrying

---

Privacy note

Always remind the user that their JWT token is sensitive — treat it like a password. Never log it or include it in outputs.
