About MyAnimeList

MyAnimeList provides an official API (currently version 2) for accessing anime and manga data, with a REST endpoint at api.myanimelist.net/v2 and OAuth2-based authentication and authorization. The API supports both public endpoint access without OAuth2 and authenticated requests, and includes documentation covering setup, authentication, and a license/developer agreement.

This club serves as a community and support space for developers building on the API: discussing bugs, asking implementation questions, requesting features, and sharing projects such as recommendation visualization tools. It is intended for developers integrating anime and manga data—such as rankings, seasonal listings, and search—into their own applications.
