Quick Start
To use lib-mal you will need an API key from MyAnimeList.net, and a callback URL. An example of how to use lib-mal might look like this:
use lib_mal::ClientBuilder;
use std::path::PathBuf;
use lib_mal::MALError;
async fn test() -> Result<(), MALError>{
//this has to exactly match a URI that's been registered with the MAL api
let redirect = "[YOUR_REDIRECT_URI_HERE]";
//the MALClient will attempt to refresh the cached access_token, if applicable
let mut client = ClientBuilder::new().secret("[YOUR_SECRET_HERE]".to_string()).caching(true).cache_dir(PathBuf::from("[SOME_CACHE_DIR]")).build_with_refresh().await?;
let (auth_url, challenge, state) = client.get_auth_parts();
//the user will have to have access to a browser in order to log in and give your application permission
println!("Go here to log in :) -> {}", auth_url);
//once the user has the URL, be sure to call client.auth to listen for the callback and complete the OAuth2 handshake
client.auth(&redirect, &challenge, &state).await?;
//once the user is authorized, the API should be usable
//this will get the details, including all fields, for Mobile Suit Gundam
let anime = client.get_anime_details(80, None).await?;
//because so many fields are optional, a lot of the members of lib_mal::model::AnimeDetails are `Option`s
println!("{}: started airing on {}, ended on {}, ranked #{}", anime.show.title, anime.start_date.unwrap(), anime.end_date.unwrap(), anime.rank.unwrap());
Ok(())
}
