Python client for Jikan.moe, MyAnimeList unofficial API built on good intentions.

Python client for Jikan.moe, simplified with amplified in mind.

The motivation is simplified the api call, customizable behaviour, and user should have no worries with ratelimit.

Features

Jikan4snek combines in-disk cache and ratelimit hit to simulate the requests.

• Has own ratelimit flow
• Customizable behaviour
• Simplified, nested method call
• Covers 80% of the v4 Jikan endpoints
• Easy to use, check your intelisense

Installation

pip install jikan4snek

Or build from source:

clone this repo and run python setup.py install

Prerequisites

NOTE: Python 3.7 or above

Usage

Should be run in async context, also follow the nested call after get or search method.

import asyncio
from jikan4snek import Jikan4SNEK, dump

async def main():
    jikan = Jikan4SNEK()
    anime = await jikan.get(18679).anime()
    print(anime) ## this is <class 'dict'>
    print(dump(anime)) ## this is <class 'str'>

asyncio.run(main())

Constructors

You can apply your own instance of Jikan, user-agent, sqlite backend, cache expiration, and debug.

The default:

import asyncio
from jikan4snek import Jikan4SNEK

async def main():
    jikan = Jikan4SNEK(
        api="https://api.jikan.moe/v4",
        ua={
            "User-Agent": "jikan4snek/current_version",
            "From": "[e-mail]",
        },
        sqlite_backend="jikan4snek_cache/jikan4snek",
        expire_cache=60, ## 1 hour
        debug=False ## debug mode, default is False
    )
    some_anime = await jikan.search("naruto").anime()
    ## do with some_anime

asyncio.run(main())

Get

jikan.get() used from based on id.

Bulk request

If you using asyncio.gather(*[jikan.get("..").anime()]) sadly, It will broke the base api hit, Just do it like usual, enable debug, and snek will handle the ratelimit for you. For example:

import asyncio
import jikan4snek

some_bunch_of_anime = [
    44511, 50602, 50172, 49918, 49596, 41467, 
    48316, 49709, 42962, 47917, 49891, 50425, 
    50710, 49784, 51098, 49979, 52046, 52193, 
    51128, 48542, 49828, 51403, 50205, 50528, 
    50590, 51212, 30455, 50923, 50348, 51680]

async def main():
    Jikan = jikan4snek.Jikan4SNEK(debug=True)
    for i in some_bunch_of_anime:
        res = await Jikan.get(i).anime()
        print("Anime:", res['data']['title'])

asyncio.run(main())

Running tests

Check workflows and the whole /test folder.

Debug

Enable debug. Default is False. Use this if jikan4snek request is not working as expected.

jikan = Jikan4SNEK(debug=True)

Jikan4snek.dump

Short hand of json.dump() If you are phobia with arbitrary bad indentation of json. Use Jikan4snek.dump() to dump them, It's definitely str, not dictionaries, just in case for reading object to save your time.
