ANIMEINFO

Syntax:

  • ANIMEINFO aid={int4 id} | aname={str animename}

Replies:

  • This command should return all missing informations from ANIME, sush as companies, external links (ANN, ...), awards, ...--Darsh 12:10, 19 April 2006 (CEST)
OK. But included in ANIME with an argument, like acode.--Epoximator 00:18, 21 April 2006 (CEST)

EPISODE

GROUP

FILE

Possible return codes:

  • XXX MULTIPLE FILES FOUND
fid|state

Comments:
Selection by anime, group and episode number is not unique. As an example: FILE aid=22&gid=41&tag=tag0002&epno=1
This commands always return only the first match. --Darsh 12:10, 19 April 2006 (CEST)

Can be fixed with MULTIPLE FILES FOUND, or just return the latest version. Maybe selectable with an argument.--Epoximator 00:18, 21 April 2006 (CEST)

Add {str anidbfilename} to fcode? --Darsh 10:56, 25 April 2006 (CEST)

ok. bit 30 @ fcode --Epoximator 21:34, 28 April 2006 (CEST)

Buddy Commands

Group of commands used to administrate your buddylist.

BUDDYADD

Command String:

  • ADDBUDDY uid={int4 buddy uid}
  • ADDBUDDY uname={int4 buddy name}

Possible Replies:

  • XXX BUDDY ADDED
  • XXX NO SUCH USER
  • XXX USER IS ALREADY A BUDDY

BUDDYDEL

Command String:

  • DELBUDDY uid={int4 buddy uid}

Possible Replies:

  • XXX BUDDY DELETED
  • XXX NO SUCH BUDDY
  • XXX YOU GOT NO FRIENDS

BUDDYACCEPT

Command String:

  • ACCEPTBUDDY uid=NNN

Possible Replies:

  • XXX BUDDY ACCEPTED
  • XXX NO SUCH BUDDY
  • XXX BUDDY ALREADY ACCEPTED

BUDDYDENY

Command String:

  • DENYBUDDY uid={int4 buddy uid}

Possible Replies:

  • XXX BUDDY DENIED
  • XXX NO SUCH USER
  • XXX BUDDY ALREADY DENIED

BUDDYLIST

Command String:

  • BUDDYLIST startat={int2 start at #}

Possible Replies:

  • NNN {int2 start} {int2 end} {int2 total} BUDDY LIST
{int4 uid}|{str username}|{int2 state}
...

Info:

  • state is a 16bit bit field in integer notation (lowest bit first):
 * bit 1 = this user is in your buddylist
 * bit 2 = this user has accepted you
 * bit 3 = this user is waiting for your approval

BUDDYSTATE

Command String:

  • BUDDYSTATE startat={int2 start at #}

Possible Replies:

  • XXX {int2 start} {int2 end} {int2 total} BUDDY STATE
{int4 uid}|{int2 onlinestate}
...

Info:

  • onlinestate is a 16bit bit field in integer notation (lowest bit first):
  * bit 1 = http online (user has issued a HTTP request within the last 10 minutes)
  * bit 2 = udp api online (user is currently connected to the udp api server)
  * example: 0=offline, 1=http online, 2=udp api online, 3=http&udp api online

NOTIFY : extend

Command String:

  • NOTIFY

Notification Packet Format:

  • Extension of notification:
 290 NOTIFICATION
 {int4 pending_notifies}|{int4 pending_msgs}|{int4 number_of_online_buddys}

That way if we requested a notify command and number_of_online_buddys was more than 0 we could then do a BUDDYLIST to get the status of the users.

PUSH : extend

Command String:

  • PUSH notify={bool push_file_added_notifications}&msg={bool push_msg_added_notifications}[&buddy={bool push_buddy_event_notifications}]

Notification Packet Format:

  • Buddy Event Notify:
 273 {int4 notify_packet_id} NOTIFICATION
 {int4 buddy uid}|{int2 event type}
  • Possible event types:
 0 => LOGIN
 1 => LOGOUT
 2 => ACCEPTED
 3 => ADD (?)

Misc Commands

ENCRYPT

Will cause all future messages from the server, except the first (the reply to the ENCRYPT command itself), to be encrypted (128 bit AES). The client will also have to encrypt all future requests sent to the server. All non-encrypted messages will be discarded by the server. The encryption key is the MD5 hash of a special (new/to be added) password defined in the users profile concatenated with the salt string as given in the reply to the ENCRYPT message. A normal AUTH message is still necessary to authenticate and should follow the ENCRYPT command once the API has acknowledged the encryption.

Command String:

  • ENCRYPT user={str name}[&type={int2 type}]

Possible Replies:

  • XXX {str salt} ENCRYPTION ENABLED
  • XXX NO SUCH USER
  • XXX ENCRYPTION PASSWORD NOT DEFINED
  • XXX NO SUCH TYPE

Info:

  • user is username
  • type is type of encryption, 1 => 128 bit AES, none other defined atm
  • encryption pass must be set in profile settings on the website
  • it is not possible to disable the encryption once enabled while staying logged in
  • a logout (the logout message needs to be correctly encrypted) or timeout will disable the encryption
  • in order to minimize server load, encryption should be disabled by default and should have to be enabled manually by the user in the configuration options.
  • the encryption key is md5(special_api_password_of_user+salt)


ENCODING

Sets preferred encoding per session.

Command String:

  • ENCODING name={str encoding name}

Possible Replies:

  • XXX ENCODING ENABLED
  • XXX ENCODING NOT SUPPORTED

Info:

AUTH : extend

Command String:

  • AUTH user={str username}&pass={str password}&protover={int4 apiversion}&client={str clientname}&clientver={int4 clientversion}[&nat=1&comp=1&enc={str encoding}&mtu{int4 mtu value}]

Info:

  • enc=x will change the encoding used. Supported encodings are these. The encoding will change right away (including the response), if it is supported, and be reset on logout/timeout.
  • comp=1 means that the client supports compression (DEFLATE). The server will compress (instead of truncating) the datagrams when needed if this option is enabled. The first two bytes of compressed datagrams will always be set to zero. (So tags should never start with that.)
  • Default mtu is 1400. Min = 400, Max = 1400.

API Status Notification

GOINGDOWN

Clients with any notification on will receive the GOINGDOWN message before the API goes offline.

Notification Packet Format:

 XXX {int4 notify_packet_id} NOTIFICATION
 {int4 time offline}|{int4 comment}

Info:

  • Time offline is the time in minutes the API will be down, 0 if indefinite (client can direct user to the anidb site for status updates).
  • The comment is a short explanation for the downtime.
  • Only one datagram will be sent, and the server will not listen for replies.

Comment:

Time offline and comment will most likely not be specified normally. '0|None' will be the default and should indicate restart for update. --Epoximator 20:52, 28 April 2006 (CEST)
