Hello,

I tried using the API but I have a few issues.

1) Some animes are missing from the output
With the same API call as below, it doesn't find Towa no Yuugure even though this anime appears on this page.

2) Anime score sorting doesn't seem to work
URL:

https://api.myanimelist.net/v2/anime/season/2025/fall?sort=anime_score&limit=500&fields=mean

Output:

etc...

Thanks in advance.

For the first point, add nsfw=true to the query param and the missing anime comes. The show is rated R - 17+ so that could be why its marked as nsfw

Second point - yup you're right anime_score sorting is not working for this API

Looks like someone reported this bug in 2022 in the API club but there's been no updates (sad): https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2030371
Maybe you can bump that thread but you'll have to sort the list through your code until it gets fixed (if ever)

Thanks for the info, I bumped the thread and will try adding nsfw param.
