2024-06-18: Removing TheMovieDB and IMDB from `/api/v2/ids`, and more

• Removed the themoviedb and imdb query parameters and JSON body options from /api/v2/ids
• Added two new endpoints: /api/v2/imdb, and /api/v2/themoviedb
  • These work the same way as TheTVDB querying, check out the docs for more details

---

Option removals and new endpoints

These endpoints exist for the same reason that the TheTVDB does: they store entire shows as entries instead of the usual seasons that all anime sites use.

This means that many of their IDs map to multiple IDs for other services, for example imdb:tt5370118 (Konosuba) has 5 entries in other sites.

These one-to-many relations would break the API endpoint and did cause issues with inserting entries into the database. This is why this breaking change is applied to the existing endpoint and not to a new major version.

2023-01-04 - `v2` API

• Added a new API documentation page: https://arm.haglund.dev/docs
• Added new v2 endpoints with data from https://github.com/Fribb/anime-lists, adding 7 new Sources!

---

/api/v2/*

All endpoints under /v2 have a new query parameter: include

It's a comma-separated list of Sources to return from the database, if you want to save a teeny amount of bandwidth.

e.g. include=anilist,anidb,kitsu

GET/POST /api/v2/ids

Works just like before, except:

• Can query with and get back the new Sources
• Except for querying with thetvdb - see below for more details

GET /api/v2/thetvdb?id={number}

This endpoint exists for one reason: TheTVDB stores entire shows as entries instead of the usual seasons that all anime sites use.

This means that many TheTVDB ID maps to multiple IDs in for other services, for example thetvdb:70799 (Beyblade) has 8(!) entries in other sites.

The one-to-many relation would break the old API endpoint, so you'll have to use this one if you want to query by thetvdb.

The new sources are:

• Anime-Planet (anime-planet)
• aniSearch (anisearch)
• IMDB (imdb)
• LiveChart (livechart)
• notify.moe (notify-moe)
• TheMovieDB (themoviedb)
• TheTVDB (thetvdb)

2021-06-09 - Refactor To Fastify

Refactored the server to use Fastify rather than Koa.

There should have been no breaking changes if you're using the service as the API describes it.

Let me know if anything is bonkers!
