Data

ANIME : new

Description:
Retrieves most info available for a specific anime defined by either id or name.

Command String:
by aid

  • ANIME aid={int4 id}

by name

  • ANIME name={str name}

Possible Replies:

  • XXX NO SUCH ANIME
  • XXX ANIME
{int4 aid}|{int2 type}|{int4 eps}|{int4 ep count}|{int4 special cnt}|{int4 rating}|{int4 votes}|{int4 tmprating}|{int4 tmpvotes}|{int4 review rating average}|{int4 reviews}|{str year}|{str romaji}|{str kanji}|{str english}|{str other}|{str short names}|{str synonyms}|{str genre list}
  • XXX ANIME BEST MATCH
...

Info:

  • Synonyms and short names are separated with '§'
  • Genre names are separated with ',' and ordered by weight (desc).
  • Categories?
  • By title: returns the most likely anime, i.e. only one
  • NOTE: The genre list is the first data to be truncated if needed. And then: synonym list, short name list. This applies for the FILE command too.

Examples: (html escaped code intended) 

 > ANIME name=tmm&s=xxxxx
 < 230 ANIME
 161|52|50|0|715|57|777|35|816|1|2002-2003|TV|Tokyo Mew Mew|東京ミュウミュウ||||TMM§mew|Cat Girls
 > ANIME name=ナルト&s=xxxxx

Comments:
I'd like this command to cope with a couple of different encodings when passed a title, and be explicit over whether it finds only one result or does a best-match guess. --Rar 04:51, 30 Oct 2005 (CET)

On second thought, is a wide search really wanted or is 'WHERE lower(name)=' good enough?. About encodings, do you care to elaborate? --Epoximator 18:24, 25 November 2005 (CET)

Comments:
Pass a list of fields (limit e.g. 10 entries) and return content. This makes it possible to request new fields in the database without breaking API for older clients. On updates, only the list of possible fields need to be extendet. -- --Dinoex

I think it's a good idea. Modified a bit. --Epoximator 13:38, 26 November 2005 (CET)
