# mal-rs [](https://crates.io/crates/mal) [](https://docs.rs/mal)
The purpose of this library is to provide high-level access to the [MyAnimeList](https://myanimelist.net) API.
At the time of writing, all features of the API are implemented, which include:
* Adding, updating, removing, and reading entries from a user's anime and manga list
* Searching for anime and manga by name
* Getting misc. info and statistics from a user's anime and manga list
* Verifying user credentials
# Usage
By default, the library builds with support to work with both anime and manga.
If you need to search for / perform operations on both the user's anime and manga list, you can simply add `mal` as a dependency to your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies]
mal = "0.6"
```
If you only need to work with just one type of list, you should use the following feature gates to reduce the final binary size and compilation time:
If you only need to search for anime / work with anime on a user's list, use the `anime` feature:
```toml
[dependencies.mal]
version = "0.6"
default-features = false
features = ["anime"]
```
If you only need to search for manga / work with manga on a user's list, use the `manga` feature:
```toml
[dependencies.mal]
version = "0.6"
default-features = false
features = ["manga"]
```
# Example
The following will update an existing anime on a user's list:
```rust
extern crate mal;
use mal::MAL;
use mal::list::anime::WatchStatus;
fn main() {
// Create a new MAL instance
let mal = MAL::new("username", "password");
// Read the user's anime list
let list = mal.anime_list().read().unwrap();
// Find Toradora in the list entries
let mut toradora = list
.entries
.into_iter()
.find(|e| e.series_info.id == 4224)
.unwrap();
// Set new values for the list entry
// In this case, the episode count will be updated to 25, the score will be set to 10, and the status will be set to completed
toradora.values
.set_watched_episodes(25)
.set_score(10)
.set_status(WatchStatus::Completed);
// Update the anime on the user's list
mal.anime_list().update(&mut toradora).unwrap();
}
```
