:deciduous_tree: Mal

This is mal, a tool to interact with MyAnimeList.net. I have put it into a command branch for inclusion into my c Bonzai stateful command tree.

This branch is still very much a work in progress. PRs welcome.

Installation

This branch can be composed into any Bonzai stateful command tree.

If you just want to try it out, grab the release binary with curl and put into your PATH:

curl -L https://github.com/tr00datp00nar/mal/releases/latest/download/mal-linux-amd64 -o ~/.local/bin/mal
curl -L https://github.com/tr00datp00nar/mal/releases/latest/download/mal-darwin-amd64 -o ~/.local/bin/mal
curl -L https://github.com/tr00datp00nar/mal/releases/latest/download/mal-darwin-arm64 -o ~/.local/bin/mal
curl -L https://github.com/tr00datp00nar/mal/releases/latest/download/mal-windows-amd64 -o ~/.local/bin/mal

Authentication

In order to create a client ID and secret for your application:

1. Navigate to https://myanimelist.net/apiconfig or go to your MyAnimeList profile, click Edit Profile and select the API tab on the far right.
2. Click Create ID and submit the form with your application details.

You will need to create a file credentials.go in the same directory as the source code with the following content:

package mal

const (
	defaultClientID     = "YOUR-CLIENT-ID"
	defaultClientSecret = "YOUR-CLIENT-SECRET"
)

CAUTION

This branch is incomplete. Currently, it can only be used by cloning this repository to a location on your system and using go install to compile the binary with your credential information.
