MyAnimeList support

[Zabooby]

Is support MAL sync planned?

[ThaUnknown]

no, MAL API is just dogshit [on the rare occasion it works], and I don't want to rely on fan-made 3rd part API's for MAL

however AniList exposes MAL ID's for most anime, so someone could easily make a PR based on that, which I'd likely accept

I can't even look at their documentation

Couldn't you just copy taiga's implementation of MAL,they seem to have it working?

Here is some documentation on their api, might help.

Can you see these, maybe its because you don't have a MAL account?

Nvm I checked the video, have you tried using a different browser or I could send you a html file of the docs if you want.

that video is the perfect example of why I don't bother supporting MAL, if some1 makes a PR for it, I'll accept it, but I don't plan on working on it myself

Hi 👋🏻
I would add Anilist too if possible. MyAnimeList starts to be deserted more and more to go for Anilist, which is more modern in every sense. Note that the Anilist api is particularly simple, hence the reason for my proposal.

I recommend u read the list of features https://github.com/ThaUnknown/miru#features
anilist is already supported, idk how u missed the big ass "login with anilist" button in the corner

Oops sorry I didn't see it, I just stumbled upon this issue by chance, I should have been more careful, my apologies

[Zabooby]

Would any of these help with adding mal support?

no lol

Maybe I'm completely misunderstanding how it works (I've only looked into Wasm pretty briefly), but couldn't you compile the C++/C code to Wasm and use it with your JavaScript code that way?

[ThaUnknown]

wow i cringed

It's not that its not possible in JS, its that i cant be fucking arsed to do it, because of how dogshit MAL is

[ghost]

Reopening this since its a good feature that many people would benefit from. It's not impossible, just troublesome because MAL has chosen it to be.
As ThaUnknown said, he won't work on it himself but will accept PRs if someone else is willingly to implement.

Hello, could you add Kitsu API too if possible? Kitsu is comparable to Anilist in the way that it also syncs your anime. Where it differs is that it's fully opensource option that a lot of people including me use since it's opensource it shouldn't take too much work to integrate I hope. I have included a link to their API repo below.

as I stated before, I won't be pursuing this, but I'm open to accept PRs for it
