Anilist-Node

A simple, lightweight Node.js wrapper for the AniList API.

Using Anilist-node

To install: npm install anilist-node

You may need a token for some features (ie checking favourites). A token only needs to be generated once in order to use. To start, head to Anilist's Developer Page and click "Create New Client". Note the client id and place this URL into your client redirect https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/pin. This URL will allow you to get your token when authorizing. Then, copy paste this URL https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/authorize?client_id={clientID}&response_type=token, replacing the {clientID} with your client ID. It will ask you to log in and then provide you with the token to use.

NOTE: Please store your token securely and privately! This gives access to your AniList account. It is your responsibility to maintain your token.

Example

Lookup search (login):

const settings = require('./settings.json'); //Or wherever your store your token.
const anilist = require('anilist-node');
const Anilist = new anilist(settings.token /* This being your token */);

    console.log(data);
});
