Please register your client here before using the UDP API.
Please note that the market for AniDB UDP API clients is very limited. If you want to make one, it should mainly be for your own sake; for experience or just for fun. It is however a good place to start if you are interested in making a full-fledged TCP API client; proving that you are capable and interested more than a week.
Watch specified folders and sub-folders for files, drag and drop files, hash found files, automatically add to AniDB MyList, rename files based on AniDB info (customised).
Hash and renames files based on information from the AniDB API and a user definable format string. Can also add files to MyList. Run adbren.pl without arguments for full usage information.
v6 Changes:
Store username/password in a separate file. Prompt for username/password first time the client is run.
Decrease delays on MYLIST* and FILE commands. Add to MyList no longer on by default.
Log feature (Avoid reprocessing files), Format presets.
Better cache. Only login to API server if needed.
New, less strict, filename filter. (Strict is still available)
anidb commandline client written in Java for all those who love shells. hashing (all types); renaming (100% cust); MyList adding; moving hashed, checked and MyList added files in their own animename dirs; remove illegal strings from filenames (100% cust)
PHP5 library for connecting to the AniDB UDP API and using its functions. All API calls can be sent with one central session object, and all responses is wrapped in objects.
In short, AniHash is a program that allows you to easily add new files to your MyList. It calculates the ED2K hash of the file (or all the files inside a folder) and gives you the option to check it against AniDB's entries; if the file is known to AniDB, you can add it to your MyList.
AniDB integration from within the GBPVR HTPC application. Organizes anime and episode titles for playback; submit temporary and permanent votes via remote; marks MyList file 'watched' when episode completes playing. Limited to files available on local drives only, does not support files archived to optical media.
A Java library, not a real client. I hope that it will improve the development of AniDB clients because the developers don't have to implement the interface to AniDB over and over again.
Currrently only Linux, both Linux and Windows were originally planned
Functions
FILE, MYLIST, MYLISTADD
Description
MyAA is a personal anime database, mostly designed to easily keep track of which anime and episodes you have seen and not seen. It supports the AniDB UDP protocol so you can update your AniDB.net MyList from time to time as well.
PyAniDB is a client for AniDB's UDP API. Supports hashing, identification, adding and renaming of files. You can also mark files in your mylist as watched. Optional cache of hash in file extended attributes. As of v0.2 hashing is implemented in pure python (i.e. no longer dependant on multihash/boost).
Client that is meant to be well integrated into the Ubuntu Linux Distro. Not meant to be a complete AniDB replacement, but to leverage AniDB to make your life better.
Both a Ruby library, and the client that uses it. The client is a lightweight file renamer and mylist manager, able to find files on AnyDB, rename them locally, add them to mylist and remove them if they were deleted. A windows executable is included.
In development, but not available

A .NET class library for the UDP API. The other .NET library here appears to be dead, so I decided to start coding my own. Currently for personal use only.
Backend system that monitors certain directories, hashes new files, renames them, moves them and adds them to MyList. Commands are sent using a class with predefined methods, results are returned using callbacks and data objects.

Target OS
Full functionality: Windows XP, Linux, Mac OSX. Partial functionality: Other Unix compatible, Older Windows/Mac.
Functions

Description
Manage and watch your anime all in one program no matter what operating system you are using. JAX will support the full udp api (and tcp if the devs let us); faster hashing than aom (also asynchronous allowing multiple files to hash at a time) for ed2k, md5, sha1, and crc32; entire MyList functionality; viewable file info (fps, bitrate, aspect, codecs, streams, etc); and an embedded media player so you can watch your anime in the same program (Only supported on full functionality systems.
CRC32/ed2k/TTH/MD5-hashing & verification, Advanced batch renaming, MyList adding, save and export local lists, codec identification, integrated webserver and a lot more.
Description
Local catalogue over video and audio files, lots of features.

Target OS

Functions
Auth, Data, Notify, Mylist, Misc
Description
a library written in plain C that provides access to the functionality of AniDB. its main purpose is to provide a separate gui-application (which i will be programming in cocoa, when i am finished with the lib) with AniDB-functionality. with this API it should be pretty easy to do a GTK2-client (or anything else that can communicate with C), too. I guess it is also be possible to do Perl/Ruby/...-bindings to provide the same API to other languages.
At first it's only going to get the data for an anime. No upload etc.

Everything that is received from AniDB is cached in local sqlite3 database. In future I plan to store in the database not only anime, but also live-action movies.

Description
threaded hashing, MyList, complete UDP API, TCP API (if devs let me) local database index, mirrored dump downloads (if desired), very nice user interface, cross platform compatibility (Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac, and others). Canning the old work and restarting from scratch. Have learnt more programming tricks so it should also be a cleaner and faster running client (this is very amazing considering that it was 3x faster at hashing than AniDB O'Matic and this is Java, an interpreted language. AniDB O'Matic was written in a native language).
Two programs planned, First, simplistic "anime name search", possible data from specific anime. Second and more likely higher priority, toolbar AniDB notification. Currently working with the UDP connection, once fully connected, proceeding from there.
For the beginning, it should be a cmd client, which can list MyList and "all anime" list (offline too). 2nd part will be graphical issues or/and change something in MyList or add.
