Python MAL API
An unofficial MyAnimeList API for Python 3.
Currently, the API does not feature any kind of rate limiting. Use the API in moderation and rate limit your queries (0.5 seconds is sufficient to my knowledge). This API uses cached webpage data to increase efficiency and save bandwidth. If you want to refresh your data, you must manually refresh the object.
The API is currently incomplete. More features are to come.
If there are any features that you wish to be supported, please raise an issue. Any feedback is also appreciated.
