mal 0.1.3

Description

mal is a command-line client for MyAnimeList.net. It uses their official API, so it should remain functional indefinitely (unlike screen-scraping alternatives). But is in alpha development yet, so new ideas is welcome! This version is a inspired tool from the slow-maintained mal.

Requirements

• Python 3.0+

• pypandoc (only for developing & PyPI submission)

• requests

Installation

• sudo pip install mal

Usage

First Steps

The program need your credentials to access your list. In the first call, the program will ask your username/password and SAVE IN PLAIN TEXT on the default_path (generally ~/.myanimelist.ini):

[mal]
username = your_username
password = your_password

Why save in plain text? Because the bad design of MAL API, maybe we can change this in future, but for now you can blame her. You also can call directly this function:

• mal login

Functionalities:

• Search in your anime list

• Search current anime in the sublist (e.g: watching)

• Increment/Decrement anime watching

• Score in final watching

• Fetch all anime list

Search in your anime list

• mal anime-by-regex

Search current anime in the sublists:

• mal watching

• mal plan to watch

• mal rewatching

• mal on hold

• mal dropped

Increment/Decrement

• Increment/Decrement the number of episodes watched with mal [inc | dec] [regex] (you can swap the order too!). If there are multiple matches, it prompts you to select which one. If incrementing from 0, it sets the anime status to “watching” and sets the start date to today. If incrementing to the total episode count, it sets the anime status to “completed” and sets the end date to today.

• Increment:

  • mal inc anime-regex

  • mal anime-regex inc

  • mal +1 anime-regex

  • mal anime-regex +1

• Decrement:

  • mal dec anime-regex

  • mal anime-regex dec

  • mal -1 anime-regex

  • mal -1 anime-regex
