jikanpy 3.4.1

Python wrapper for the Jikan API

Jikanpy

Jikanpy is a Python wrapper for Jikan, providing bindings for all API functionality, and supports Python 3.6+. Because it is intended to be pretty much identical, please consult Jikan's documentation for thornier details on how it is meant to be used. Perhaps most importantly, Jikanpy does not make any attempts to rate limit itself, so use it as responsibly as you would use the API primitively and remember that Jikan API has limitations, check out this section of documentation in order to see to what extent the API is limited or throttled.

In addition to the typical response from the API, each response contains two additional fields:

• jikan_url: The URL that was requested; for example: https://api.jikan.moe/v3/anime/1.
• headers: The response headers from Jikan, detailed here.

Installation

$ pip install jikanpy

Usage

from jikanpy import Jikan
jikan = Jikan()

# json of all anime info specified by Jikan docs
mushishi = jikan.anime(457)

# same as above, but with extra info
# see Jikan docs for information about which endpoints have which extensions
mushishi_with_eps = jikan.anime(457, extension='episodes')
mushishi_with_eps_2 = jikan.anime(457, extension='episodes', page=2)

search_result = jikan.search('anime', 'Mushishi', parameters={'type': 'tv'})
search_result = jikan.search('anime', 'Mushishi', parameters={'genre': 37})
# use multiple query parameters

Async Usage

import asyncio
from jikanpy import AioJikan

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

async def main(loop):
    aio_jikan = AioJikan(loop=loop)

    mushishi = await aio_jikan.anime(457)
    fma = await aio_jikan.manga(25)
    ginko = await aio_jikan.character(425)
    kana_hanazawa = await aio_jikan.person(185)
    naruto = await aio_jikan.search(search_type='anime', query='naruto')
    winter_2018 = await aio_jikan.season(year=2018, season='winter')
    archive = await aio_jikan.season_archive()

loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))

Overriding default settings in Jikan and AioJikan with constructor arguments

If you're running an instance of jikan-rest on your system, and want to use that instead of api.jikan.moe, you can pass that to Jikan:

from jikanpy import Jikan
jikan = Jikan(selected_base='http://localhost:8000/v3/')

You can also choose whether or not to use the HTTPS version of the api.jikan.moe URL or not, which defaults to True.

from jikanpy import Jikan
jikan_1 = Jikan()               # HTTPS
jikan_2 = Jikan(use_ssl=True)   # HTTPS
jikan_3 = Jikan(use_ssl=False)  # HTTP

If you want to use your own Requests session, you can do that too.

import requests
from jikanpy import Jikan

session = requests.Session()
# Set custom persistent headers that will be used with all HTTP requests with your session
session.headers.update({'x-test': 'true'})

jikan = Jikan(session=session)

You can use any or all of these constructor arguments when creating an instance of Jikan.

AioJikan also has selected_base, use_ssl, and session (although AioJikan uses AioHTTP session, not Requests), but also has loop, to provide your own asynchronous event loop.

import aiohttp
import asyncio

from jikanpy import AioJikan

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

async def main(loop):
    # Construct AioJikan with own base URL and custom AioHTTP session with custom persistent headers and event loop
    session = aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=loop, headers={'x-test': 'true'})
    aio_jikan_1 = AioJikan(selected_base='http://localhost:8000/v3/', session=session)

    # Construct AioJikan with jikan.moe HTTP URL and event loop that will be used in internal AioHTTP session
    aio_jikan_2 = AioJikan(use_ssl=False, loop=loop)

    await aio_jikan_1.close()
    await aio_jikan_2.close()

loop.run_until_complete(main(loop))
