jikan2go

A comfy, go-like library for Jikan, the open source MyAnimeList API.

Download

$ go get github.com/nokusukun/jikan2go

Usage

Configuration

The endpoint used by the API can be changed by modifying utils.Constants.API

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/nokusukun/jikan2go/anime"
    "github.com/nokusukun/jikan2go/utils"
)

func init()  {
    utils.Config.API = "https://jikan.noku.pw/v3"   // All of jikan2go API calls will now use
                                                    // jikan.noku.pw instead of api.jikan.moe    
    
    utils.Config.CacheDir = "~/.jikan/"             //change where cache files are stored (default: os.TempDir())
    utils.Config.CacheLifetime = time.hour * 1      // change the cache lifetime before 
                                                    // requesting data from the remote resource. (default 30 minutes)                
        
}

Note: Make sure to remove the trailing slash when specifying a new API endpoint.

Note on caching

While the library maintains a cache, it also respects Jikan's ETag headers.

---

All of the methods accepts anything that implements the MALItem interface and almost all of the structs in this package implements the MALItem interface.

This means you can pass a common.AnimeItem or anything that is roughly anime related to anime.GetAnime or all of it's package's methods.

No type assertions are being checked (for now) when passing a struct in order to facilitate more freedom.

Searching

Searching in jikan2go fully implements Jikan's Search Parameters

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/nokusukun/jikan2go/anime"
)

func main() {
    // Searching for Anime
    result, _ := anime.Search(anime.Query{Q:"made in abyss"}) // same goes for manga.Search

    madeInAbyss := result.Results[0]

    fmt.Println("Title:", madeInAbyss.Title)
    fmt.Println("Link:", madeInAbyss.URL)
    
    // Retrieve recommendations for this particular anime
    recs, _ := anime.GetRecommendations(madeInAbyss)
    for _, recAnime := range recs.Recommendations[:3] {
        fmt.Println(recAnime.Title, "is recommended by", recAnime.RecommendationCount, "users")
    }

    fmt.Println("---")
    // Retrieving anime by it's MAL ID
    mia, err := anime.GetAnime(anime.Anime{MalID:34599})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    fmt.Printf("Made in Abyss Description\n\n%v", mia.Synopsis)

Made in Abyss Description

The Abyss—a gaping chasm stretching down into the depths of the earth, filled with mysterious creatures and relics from 
a time long past. How did it come to be? What lies at the bottom? Countless brave individuals, known as Divers, have 
sought to solve these mysteries of the Abyss, fearlessly descending into its darkest realms.

Note: The struct returned by anime.Search does not include the full canonical data, in this case, just feed the search result to anime.GetAnime

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/nokusukun/jikan2go/anime"
    "github.com/nokusukun/jikan2go/manga"
)


func main() {
    result, _ := anime.Search(anime.Query{Q:"made in abyss"})
    firstResult := result.Results[0]

    fmt.Println("Title:", firstResult.Title)
    fmt.Println("Link:", firstResult.URL)

    madeInAbyss, _ := anime.GetAnime(firstResult)
    miaManga, _ := manga.GetManga(madeInAbyss.Related.Adaptation[0])
    fmt.Println("Made in Abyss Author: ", miaManga.Authors[0].Name)
}

Output:
Title: Made in Abyss
