Python script that fetches random anime and manga based on genre using the Jikan API.

Magatama

A python CLI utility that can give you a random anime or manga from a selected genre, you can then watch the fetched anime straight from the terminal using ani-cli. Made using InquirerPy and the Jikan API to pull data from MyAnimeList.

Demo

2023-09-13_16-44-39.mp4

Dependencies

• Python 3.x
• InquirerPy 0.3.3
• JikanPy 1.0.0
• clipboard 0.0.4
• ani-cli 4.6 (optional)

Installation

Clone this repository, then download the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/tsukki9696/magatama.git
cd magatama/
pip install -r requirements.txt

TODO: Package script to the AUR.

Usage

python magatama.py

Move up and down genres with the arrow keys, confirm with Enter/Return.

Limitations

Currently, the script is quite slow, and since the API requests from Jikan are fairly limited, I can only do so much optimisation, but improving the fetching speed is in my plans.

magatama's Issues

shellscript "port"

i rewrote a more minimalistic version of this program in shell, for fun, thought i'd share it here:
the only dependencies are fzf and mpv (and a posix shell to run the script duh
