Possible Mangaupdates integration? #212

Open DakuTree opened 7 years ago

DakuTree commented 7 years ago

Not for updating, but just for getting series info and such. Lots of useful info which would be nice to have (namely if the series is completed, ratings, author/artist and so on).

Only issue I can see with this is keeping the data up to date, as we can't exactly do requests for every one of our series whenever we need it.

Also relevant: Prior to building trackr.moe I actually built a userscript for MangaUpdates which added similar functionality, but abandoned it after MAL decided to take MU IDs off their database (Interestingly enough after I asked about it the IDs on the support fourms).

By series info what exactly do you mean? How would we be integrating it with the current system?

Any info on the MU series page: example

Would probably just be used to display some of the info in the more info section. Alternatively it might just be better to link directly to MU.

I suppose we could link it, but we'd need to build some sort of identification system.
