Feel free to drop by on IRC if you have any questions or simply don't know where to start.\n\n\n= Core Services =\n\n== UDP API ==\nThe UDP API is a '''public''' UDP based ''read/write'' API which can be used to obtain information about specific files and database entries. This API is the best choice for all file related activities as well as for many others.\n\nIf you're new to the AniDB APIs, we recommend that you take a look at the UDP API first.\n\nmore: [[UDP API Definition]], [[UDP API DEV]], [[UDP Clients]], [[WebAOM]]\n\n== HTTP API (limited) ==\n\nProvides ''read-only'' access to a limited subset of the AniDB database via HTTP requests. \n\nCurrently this is only interesting for people interested in non-file/episode related information for a specific anime.\n\nmore: [[HTTP API Definition]]\n\n== TCP API (private) ==\n\nThe TCP API is a special, '''private''' API which provides access to partial copies of the AniDB database for off-line use.\n\nAccess to the TCP API is only provided on request and with restrictions. Please contact EXP or Der Idiot on AniDB for additional information. Note that if you consider developing a TCP Client you will have to put up with in memory en- and decryption of data streams and no data is ever to be allowed to put unencrypted on HDD.\n\nCurrently the only available TCP API Client is AOM.\n\nsee also: [[AniDB Clients]], [[AniDB O'Matic]]\n\n= Data Dumps =\n\n== Anime Titles ==\n\nAniDB offers a daily updated dump of all anime titles which can be used to support client sided anime search features.\n\nThis file can also be used for anime title to AID lookups.\n\n:[http://anidb.net/api/anime-titles.dat.gz http://anidb.net/api/anime-titles.dat.gz]\n*YOU DO NOT REQUEST THIS FILE MORE THAN ONCE PER DAY*\n\n:[http://anidb.net/api/anime-titles.xml.gz http://anidb.net/api/anime-titles.xml.gz]\n*YOU DO NOT REQUEST THIS FILE MORE THAN ONCE PER DAY*\n\nAlternatively there is a ready to use search using these dumps available by a third party: [http://anisearch.outrance.pl/ http://anisearch.outrance.pl/] (''Thanks to eloyard'')\n\n= Additional Resources =\n\n== MyList Export ==\nA user can export his entire MyList in different formats. Among the supported formats is an XML export. This approach can be used to retrieve and import a large amount of data on files, episodes and anime which are part of the anime collection of a specific user. This is therefore a very good first step to obtain a local data set which can then be used for further work.\n\nsee: [[MyList export]]\n\n== Signature Data ==\nThe AniDB Signature Server allows user to create dynamic signature images for use in forum signatures. The corresponding data is also available in raw format in case you want to build your own system.\n\nmore: [[SigServer]], [[SigServer DEV]]\n\n== RSS Feeds ==\nAniDB offers regularly updated information about recently added files and user specific file notifications as RSS feeds.\n\nmore: [[RSSRDF]]\n\n== IRC Bots ==\nThere are a number of IRC bots on the SynIRC network. They can be used to interface with AniDB and provide real time information about database changes.\n\nmore: [[IRC:Chii]], [[IRC:Lafiel]]\n\n= Screen Scraping =\nWe would like to ask you not to parse the AniDB html data directly for data extraction purposes. If your requirements are not covered by the APIs and resources available so far, please feel free to contact us directly.\n\n{{eyecatch|Warning|Issuing too many HTTP requests will get you banned. Aside of that you are causing unnecessary stress on our servers.}}\n\n[[Category:Development]]\n[[Category:API]]"

As well as providing general anime information, if you [[AniDB:Sign up|sign up]] you can organise your anime collection, keep track of what you've seen and how much you liked it, and all kinds of nifty extras. \n\nTo get your own [[MyList]] started, you can either add [[Content:Files|files]] you have on your harddrive, easiest by ''hashing'' them with an [[AniDB Clients|AniDB Client]], or use a [[Files:Generic files|generic]] for anything you've seen in a cinema or own on DVD. Read '''[[How to Add Files to Your MyList|full details]]''' for more.\n\nEven without a MyList, you can [[Votes|vote]] for various things in AniDB: [[Votes:Anime|anime]], [[Votes:Episodes|episodes]], [[Votes:Groups|groups]] - and comment and vote on [[Votes:Animegroups|groups releases of anime]] and [[AniDB:Review Comments|reviews]] in the database. <!-- If you vote for the anime you've seen you can use the [[Anime Hint|anime hint]] feature to see what else you might like to watch. -->\n</div>\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #FFF8FF; border: 3px black double; margin: 0.5em; padding: 1em; min-width: 50%;\">\n== Frequently Asked Questions ==\n* [[FAQ:Anime|What is anime?]]\n* [[FAQ:MyList|How do I add anime to my list?]]\n* [[FAQ:Signup|Help!
