I am a student. I want to crawl the top 100 most popular characters and their corresponding information. How can I obtain the API

Varansehir | Jul 27, 9:20 AM

(I can't log in when I'm running API verification on my site.)
My password is correct, and my username is correct, but I can't log in.
I can log in from myanimelist.net, but I can't log in from my site.

@blackholeearth0- The nsfw field shouldn't be trusted that much.
If you want to filter out 18+ entries, you can use the rating field.

blackholeearth0- | May 9, 4:53 AM

zenshuu anime is not visible.. at api..

if we enable +18 .. it s visible..

but anime itself pg-13 , thats stated at the website??

expected behavior :
i expect zenshu to be visible , even when NSFW filter is ON.. at the map api..

@Leriouch : your HTTP request is wrongly formatted. If you're writing it as such a low level, it should look like :

POST /v1/oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
Host: myanimelist.net

(The Host header should always be exactly your target's hostname, and the first line shouldn't include it.)

Leriouch | Mar 29, 8:38 AM

I believe the problem may be with the URL for the token https://myanimelist.net/apiconfig/references/authorization on this documentation site. It's saying this page doesn't exist when I look it up https://myanimelist.net/v1/oauth2/token HTTP/1.1 but apparently this is what I need to get tokens.

Maybe I am confused after going through steps 1-5 and completing them and getting my authorization code, do I need to do step 6?

Leriouch | Mar 29, 8:28 AM

I did not hash anything and I am using the same code verifier from the previous steps. I am coming back to this but am still having the same error. I generated a new authorization code and tried following the second format in step 6 for receiving tokens but I still get an HTML page saying not found. I'm still not sure what the problem is.

POST https://myanimelist.net/v1/oauth2/token HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
&client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
&grant_type=authorization_code
&code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE
&redirect_uri=YOUR_REDIRECT_URI
&code_verifier=YOUR_PKCE_CODE_VERIFIER

It's been a while since I worked on this so do I need to get a new code verifier or something else? For my host header I put myanimelist.com but maybe that's suppose to be different. I'm just not sure what the problem is because the previous steps work fine.

ZeroCrystal | Feb 9, 7:35 AM

@Leriouch Just to be sure: the code verifier is identical to the one you previously used for the authentication step? Or did you perform any kind of hashing?

Also, if it's a JSON object, can you share the full response message you're getting from MAL?
