Hummingbird.me support #1

Open kriNon opened 9 years ago

kriNon commented 9 years ago

Hey, I was wondering if you'd be interested in adding support for hummingbird.me? Cheers!

LHCGreg commented 9 years ago

Perhaps someday. It would help a lot if Hummingbird exposed a mapping of MAL anime ids to Hummingbird ids so Hummingbird users could basically be converted to a MAL user and everything else stays the same, but I didn't see that on their API reference. The alternative would involve changing a fair amount of code and maintaining another database.

Would something like "https://github.com/exitium/dawn" or "https://github.com/Wyvryn/HummingbirdExport" help?

Doesn't look like it. What I would need is for hummingbird itself to provide the MAL anime ID in the API query for getting a user's list, or an API query for getting hummingbird anime ID->MAL anime id for all anime that could be loaded daily. Hummingbird clearly has that data since you can import from MAL, they just need to expose it.
