Anilist-Node
A simple, lightweight Node.js wrapper for the AniList API.
Using Anilist-node
To install: npm install anilist-node
You may need a token for some features (ie checking favourites). A token only needs to be
generated once in order to use. To start, head to
Anilist's Developer Page and click
"Create New Client". Note the client id and place this URL into your client redirect
https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/pin
. This URL will allow you to get your token when
authorizing. Then, copy paste this URL
https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/authorize?client_id={clientID}&response_type=token
, replacing the {clientID}
with your client ID. It will ask you to log in and then
provide you with the token to use.
NOTE: Please store your token securely and privately! This gives access to your AniList account. It is your responsibility to maintain your token.
Example
General lookup search (no login):
const anilist = require('anilist-node');
const Anilist = new anilist();
Anilist.media.anime(21708).then(data => {
console.log(data);
});
Lookup search (login):
const settings = require('./settings.json'); //Or wherever your store your token.
const anilist = require('anilist-node');
const Anilist = new anilist(settings.token /* This being your token */);
Anilist.media.anime(21708).then(data => {
console.log(data);
});
