[Request] for addition of Mangadex

[auz-jsm]

Please, well if possible, allow to include Mangadex.org in the server list. Thanks!

Notice: Certain features of their site are disabled for guests during DDoS mitigation (which is mostly occurring so they require a user account to have full access).

[raulhaag]

yes, look like batoto kind of server, no time for now but i will take in account.

[ghost]

i have asked them if they had an api, but this one is very very little (not enought for using it for this kind of application, and the rss isn't complete on most of their manga).

So it would be VERY difficult to implement.

[asdkant]

Tachiyomi has a mangadex plugin, if you open the page in web view once to pass the DDoS check it works fine, you could imitate how that one works.

use MiMangaNu with mangadex are difficult because Mangadex:

1) work with multiple language... and when you have this:

it's difficult to short all of that...

2) the scan of each new chapter will take a long time ... (because multiple parse)

[Fraulk]

1) Batoto was on the app before dying, and there were multiple languages so it's surely not a problem 2) You can choose fast scan to check only the last 20 chapters, or be patient

[borrougagnou]

1) I'm not here at the beginning but if batoto disapear on the list, I think its because the MiMangaNu app didn't have lots of functionality that we have now + batoto separate correctly each language from the list by URL ... very different from mangadex who each chapter are mixed with other for one url...

2) fast scan to check only 20th chapter... lul... didn't change nothing because you always need a lots of short... like this... during the 20th chapter you have only EN + BR language, the others language are below well below from 20th chapter... as I said, lots of sort...

Mangadex is a huge server and there's a lot of manga, frequently updated by the teams, so why are you against it ? Yeah it could be difficult to implement but it's definitely worth it

[auz-jsm]

I'm no a programmer (so idk the complexity it might dealt) but Mangadex.org has actually a language filter (in their search engine/results and in your account's language preference)

[borrougagnou]

I know that mangadex is a huge server with lots of manga the problem is "implementation" into MiMangaNu... because the stupid devs of Mangadex didn't code the site properly !

but wait, I may have found something who was helpful

[ghost]

I'm against it too, because i would be using a lot a offort for a server who is actually in difficulty, if they don"t do something they risque to die ?

Why ? because a lot of manga aren't updated anymore by the team who have quit the boat, for exemple https://mangadex.org/title/24213/29-to-jk (the team have update it since, but not on mangadex, and mangadex remove the content if the team ask for so the user canot update it manually), i don't use mangadex anymore because of that.

So explain to us, why us (developer), have to work hours, for a server who isn't up to date ? (it's a real question not a troll).

[ghost]

plus they have an api, but it's very limited and not documented, so it will be lot of effort for use this api (and one update and poof api dead). edit : one last thing one i have asked them in pm on discord, some dev have said the will do update on their system, so read html will be break later.

[borrougagnou]

Ha, yes I forgot about that...

I though use api but they dont have any list just info about eps... And if they prepare a new interface, it will stupid to begin something...

So, it's close for myself

[ghost]

Yes the ideal is if the open a public api for retrieve last manga up, and research api, but since none of the source want to do it we are lock to use html read

[raulhaag]

hi, i found 2 usefull parts in the api the manga and chapter, there are fast and complete as i see in response, extra config go to be needed to add to it the lengauges codes to filter, also saomething like chapter collapse for the chapter with multiple scalation (i see this part as the problematic but can be aplyed to other servers) or keep all scalation but not usefull at read moment one after other repeating

[ghost]

we already found it, (but they're going to make changes that might break the api)

[ghost]

Confirmation from mangadex, V5 on the Way full API will be available in this update https://mangadex.org/thread/195435/1

When the full api will be available, i will check how to implement it in the app

[raulhaag]

Hi @aelisya I started a branch a time ago and i was working on it but, not to many time and y forget about it for a couple of month, if you want to test it and i pushed this branch https://github.com/raulhaag/MiMangaNu/tree/Mangadex

[ghost]

i will check on that :)
