Where can I find a list of chinese characters and their transcription in the 5 stroke classes used in the 五笔画 (wǔ bǐhuà) and Wubixing input method?

Question

For a personal project I want to create a (huge) graph that contains some (as many as possible) chinese characters along the paths of their corresponding keyboard input using the 5 stroke classes horizontal(一), vertical (丨), left falling (丿), right falling/dot (丶), and turning (乛/乙). I didn't have a problem to find a database that included a list of some thousand characters transcribed for their use in the Wubihua input method, but in this method only the 4 first strokes plus the last stroke is used, as opposed to a transcript of all the strokes building up that character.

For example, for 毓 you only type 丿一乛乛乛.

However, I am looking for a transcript like this: 果 = 丨乛一一一丨丿丶

The strokes used can be encoded in whatever way, I just need the full information. For example, I found an open source project for the Wubihua method (= exactly the 4+1 way I am not looking for) that encoded them like this:

nmmn. 即 .mmm/ 許 m/nm/ 區 m/m., 報 /nmmm 量 m//mm 基 m/mm/ 打 m//mm 聯 m/n,n 西 .mmm/ 該 m/mmn 指

with ., /, ,, n and m representing the 5 stroke classes mentioned above. I've been searching in GitHub repos for hours, but was only able to find the short 4+1 strokes version used in Wubihua.

I would be very grateful for a hint or link to a free-to-use database containing the necessary information for, say, at least some hundred of the most frequent characters.

Thanks in advance!

The keyword to search for is 筆順編號.

This github respository contains stroke order sequences for 29685 characters, coded as numbers 1-5. From the readme:

仅仅以1、2、3、4、5五个数字分别代表“一丨丿丶𠃌”五个笔画，按汉字笔顺进行输入。例如：

“开”字，按笔顺“一、一、丿、丨”，编码为1132； “我”字为31；“向”字为325；“力”为53； 注意“万”为153，“方”为4153，“忄”为442。

其中有些笔画容易被误解： “提”归为“一”：如“氵、扌”中的最后一笔；有些电脑字体繁体字的“雨字头”四点显示为四小横，皆按国标笔顺归为四点；

“亅”一竖往左勾的归为“丨”：如“小”字的第一笔、“扌”提手旁等；“乚”一竖往右勾的归为“𠃌”：如“比、民、氏”的左边那一笔；

“点、捺”都归为“丶”：如“文、入、表、厶”的最后一笔；“宀”宝盖头和“冖”秃宝盖的左边那一笔也都是“丶”，不是“丨”；

各种折笔（乛、フ、乚、𠃌、⺄、竖弯钩、竖提等）都归为“𠃌”：如“为、孔、民”中的笔画。

Bolded parts are easy to misinterpret strokes - but they've grouped it under the same 5 classifications as you've mentioned in the question details, so I guess this wasn't a problem for you.
