AnimeAPI Python Wrapper

animeapi-python is a Python wrapper for the AnimeAPI made by nattadasu.

The wrapper is released with type hints and async support in mind for ease of use and is compatible with Python 3.7 or higher.

Installation

pip install animeapi-py

Depending on your system, you may need to use pip3 instead of pip, or sudo pip instead of pip.

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or higher
• aiohttp (for async support)
• dacite
• requests
• typing_extensions (for Python <= 3.8)

Usage

import animeapi

with animeapi.AnimeAPI() as api:
    # Get anime relation data for the anime with ID 1 on MyAnimeList
    mal = api.get_anime_relations(1, animeapi.Platform.MYANIMELIST)
    print(mal)

    # Get list of anime available on AniList
    anilist = api.get_list_anime_relations(animeapi.Platform.ANILIST)
    print(anilist[:2])  # Print first two results

    # Get dictionary of anime available on Kitsu
    kitsu = api.get_dict_anime_relations(animeapi.Platform.KITSU)
    print(kitsu['1'])  # Print data for Cowboy Bebop

We recommend using the with statement to create an instance of AnimeAPI as we designed the wrapper to be easy to switch between sync and async, although you can also use AnimeAPI directly on sync methods only.

Asyncronous Usage

Similarly, for async, you just need to replace AnimeAPI with AsyncAnimeAPI and use await on the methods.

You must use the wrapper in with statement, or you will receive RuntimeError exception.

import asyncio
import animeapi

async def main():
    async with animeapi.AsyncAnimeAPI() as api:
        # Get anime relation data for the anime with ID 1 on MyAnimeList
        mal = await api.get_anime_relations(1, animeapi.Platform.MYANIMELIST)
        print(mal)

        # Get list of anime available on AniList
        anilist = await api.get_list_anime_relations(animeapi.Platform.ANILIST)
        print(anilist[:2])  # Print first two results

        # Get dictionary of anime available on Kitsu
        kitsu = await api.get_dict_anime_relations(animeapi.Platform.KITSU)
        print(kitsu['1'])  # Print data for Cowboy Bebop

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Available Methods

get_anime_relations(title_id: str | int, platform: str | Platform, media_type: str | TraktMediaType | TmdbMediaType | None = None, title_season: int | None) -> AnimeRelation

This method equals to the /:platform/:title_id endpoint on the API.

# Get anime relation data for the anime with ID 1 on MyAnimeList
mal = api.get_anime_relations(1, animeapi.Platform.MYANIMELIST)
print(mal)

# Get anime relation data for Trakt shows with season
trakt = api.get_anime_relations(152334, animeapi.Platform.TRAKT,
                                 media_type=animeapi.TraktMediaType.SHOWS,
                                 title_season=3)
print(trakt)

# Get anime relation data for TMDB TV shows
tmdb = api.get_anime_relations(12345, animeapi.Platform.THEMOVIEDB,
                                media_type=animeapi.TmdbMediaType.TV)
print(tmdb)

# Get anime relation data for The TVDB with season
tvdb = api.get_anime_relations(76885, animeapi.Platform.THETVDB,
                                title_season=1)
print(tvdb)

get_dict_anime_relations(platform: str | Platform) -> dict[str, AnimeRelation]

This method equals to the /:platform endpoint on the API. Use this method if you want to get complete data for all anime available on a platform and wanted to be able to access the data by the anime ID faster.

# Get dictionary of anime available on Kitsu
kitsu = api.get_dict_anime_relations(animeapi.Platform.KITSU)
print(kitsu['1'])  # Print data for Cowboy Bebop

get_list_anime_relations(platform: str | Platform) -> list[AnimeRelation]

This method equals to the /:platform() endpoint on the API.

# Get list of anime available on AniList
anilist = api.get_list_anime_relations(animeapi.Platform.ANILIST)
print(anilist[:2])  # Print first two results

get_list_index() -> list[AnimeRelation]

This method equals to the /animeapi endpoint on the API.

# Get list of anime available on AnimeAPI
animeapi_list = api.get_list_index()
print(animeapi_list[:2])  # Print first two results

get_status() -> ApiStatus

This method equals to the /status endpoint on the API.

# Get status of AnimeAPI
status = api.get_status()
print(status)

get_heartbeat() -> Heartbeat

This method equals to the /heartbeat endpoint on the API.

# Get heartbeat of AnimeAPI
heartbeat = api.get_heartbeat()
print(heartbeat)

get_updated_time() -> Updated

This method equals to the /updated endpoint on the API.

# Get last updated time of AnimeAPI
updated = api.get_updated_time()
print(updated)
print(updated.datetime())  # Convert to datetime class
