==Hosting==
We have a dedicated server ready for hosting this feature. Restrictions:
* Database related code should be able to work with PostgreSQL AND MySQL
* Currently the server only runs PHP4 [http://sig.anidb.info/phptest.php Php Info], but PHP5 could be installed.
==Data Retrieval==
The SigServer will receive the required data by making HTTP GET requests to the main anidb server and by getting XML replies.
Here are some examples.
caution, don't access these urls more than one or twice a day or you will get yourself an automatic 24h ban!

The mylist export documentation may be helpful in understanding the meaning of the different fields in the XML replies: [[Mylist_export_template_guidelines]]
