Changing the User-Agent string (in Aniyomi there's a setting for it in Advanced Settings) worked, so apparently MAL authentication allows logging it, but dies mid-way because it doesn't like that Aniyomi's stated User-Agent is set to Windows 10 by default (which is curious considering it's not a Windows app, or maybe there's something else to the rest of the string). So copypasing the "Linux; Android 13" User-Agent name as suggested helped to enable syncing, finally. Not sure on whose end would it be to check on it, MAL's or apps devs', but it is fixable by the user at least.
@Amonimus I don't seem to be able to make it work. Could you please share your useragent string so that I can test it on my end?


Thank you very much.

@Amonimus Well, I just tested this but no luck. I guess I have no other choice but to wait for the new version release.

Thank you anyways!

@Shadow_Reaper13 I also tried it and it doesn't work on Mihon. Maybe it's just to fix anime tracking

@Amonimus Worked like a charm, thanks mate.
For those having trouble making it work, just google "what is my user agent" (or visit https://www.whatsmyua.info/) on the device you are using, and copy paste what it shows you.

Small update from the dev team: the manga endpoint is back online and operational, but the core issue is still being investigated.
A stricter rate limit was enforced to manage the workload caused by an unusual spike in requests that persisted for the last two weeks.

Could the request spike be all the apps that fail to login/fetch retrying repeatedly?

@Amonimus No, it's unrelated. It has been going on since well before the interruption of the API, but I don't know the details.

@ZeroCrystal Is MAL blocking API calls from mihon (I am still unable to use manga tracking on there) and similar apps while they debug the issue on their end? Any updates on whether it will be unblocked anytime soon?

@majiyabakune I don't know if they're blocking specific applications or if it's limited to certain patterns to interact with the API (e.g., User Agent filtering).

Mihon's developers should have a clearer picture of the issue.

@Gorenko you set it at Settings - Advanced - Default user agent string
and about the user-agent, you can use anything you want as long is valid. (in my case i use a app to get the default useragent of webview on my phone and use that one (got less issues with cloudflare since then))
