AniList: Manga

Manga Overview

The following functions are supported by AnilistPython version 0.1.1.

• .get_manga() - search manga by name
• .get_manga_with_id() - search manga by ID
• .get_manga_id() - get manga ID
• .print_manga_info() - print manga information

Retrieve by name

• Function: .get_manga()

AnilistPython offers the ability to retrieve the manga information when given the name of the manga. The name of the manga does not have to be exactly accurate (the search engine will automatically resolve this).

from AnilistPython import Anilist
anilist = Anilist()

# returns a dictionary containing the info about Emilia-tan 
anime_dict = anilist.get_manga("Solo Leveling") 

Manually Select Result: The function .get_manga() allows to user to select which of the top three search results should be retrieved. (manual_select is set to False by default)

anime_dict = anilist.get_manga("Solo Leveling", manual_select=True)

Retrieve by ID

• Function: .get_manga_with_id()

AnilistPython can also retrieve manga data given the ID of the anime from Anilist.co

from AnilistPython import Anilist
anilist = Anilist()

# returns a dictionary containing the info about the manga Tearmoon Empire (ID:113399)
anime_dict = anilist.get_manga_with_id(113399) 

Get Manga ID

• Function: .get_manga_id() The AnilistPython library also allows the user to retrieve manga ID from Anilist.co.

from AnilistPython import Anilist
anilist = Anilist()

# returns Manga Eighty-Six's ID on Anilist
anilist.get_manga_id('eighty six')

Print Manga Info

• Function: .print_manga_info() This feature automatically formats the data retrieved from the anime and displays this information in the terminal.

from AnilistPython import Anilist
anilist = Anilist()

anilist.print_manga_info("Kirito")
