ANIMEDESC: Retrieve Anime Description

Command String:
by aid

• ANIMEDESC aid={int4 id}&part={int4 partno}

Possible Replies:

• 233 ANIMEDESC

{int4 current part}|{int4 max parts}|{str description}

• 330 NO SUCH ANIME
• 333 NO SUCH DESCRIPTION

Info:

• The maximum length of the anime description is roughly 5000 characters, but the maximum length of a UDP packet is 1400 bytes
• Multiple calls to ANIMEDESC may be necessary to retrieve the complete text, retrieving separate 1400 byte parts with each call
• part is zero-based
• Note: No support, at present, for retrieving descriptions by title. aid only

Examples: (html escaped code intended)

 > ANIMEDESC aid=3169&part=0&s=xxxxx
 < 233 ANIMEDESC

Note to anybody reading this -- this command is still mildly buggy, and may return a "6xx SERVER ERROR" under certain circumstances. Once these errors are fixed, the text will be moved to the UDP specification page proper.
