Timer for manga (ik anilist don't provide data)

[ghost]

Instead if possible use https://www.mangaupdates.com/releases.html • This provides when the last chapter was added. They've api so dev can do something like this for mangas: The last chapter for {manga} {chapter no} was released {time} ago

And https://m.webtoons.com/en/originals • For manhwa and webtoons (Idk if they provide api or not)

[ghost]

@AbandonedCart will you be able to do it if it's possible?

[AbandonedCart]

Do they not take feature requests here? I'm a bit confused about why I keep getting tagged for things not being part of the team when it seems like you have at least two people with time on their hands.

[rebelonion]

🤷‍♂️

[rebelonion]

people are impatient ig

[AbandonedCart]

So it was already requested and someone said it would be done when there was time?

[rebelonion]

it has been requested a few times, and I said it would be something I'd look into

[AbandonedCart]

Was this recent?

[rebelonion]

but this one is actually slightly different. And worse. there would be no point in using an api for when a chapter releases, as you can already subscribe to manga. The only use (and the usual request) is to use such an api for finding and displaying the total number of chapters as anilist doesn't have that.

[rebelonion]

Was this recent?

variants have come up a few times over the lifetime of the app.

[AbandonedCart]

I had a feeling. I was trying to understand if it was really impatience or something that either wasn't very important or not really desired, but nobody wanted to deal with saying no.

[rebelonion]

most of the requests I've seen you tagged in are things that have been planned to add at some point. People are just impatient

[AbandonedCart]

So then this is something that was planned and the fact that it contradicts the whole "AniList only client" thing isn't a concern?

[rebelonion]

being an "AniList only client" doesn't mean it can't use other apis. in case you haven't seen, the app also pulls data from kitsu and myanimelist.

but the main point of this request is a bad idea for using this api, as it already exists in another form

[rebelonion]

people don't always appreciate what me or the other devs prioritize. them pinging you is trying to get a feature to skip the line. and many people have their own opinions lol. It just came up today actually. I have been pinged over 11,000 times in 4 months

[AbandonedCart]

It could also be that I don't report to anyone here.

MAL and AniList practically collaborate. That doesn't mean you should start using anything with an API.

[AbandonedCart]

@itsmechinmoy It's notting against you. You didn't make it a thing. You don't have to tag me individually, though. Ill still see it.

[AbandonedCart]

So you were looking for something like this?

Count Up Timer


I had a dentist appointment yesterday about the same time I realized I had caught the flu, so things are moving a bit slower.

Yup exactly like tht Can it work for manwha and web novels?

[AbandonedCart]

I haven't looked into that yet. If the data exists, then most likely.

Someone built an API for webtoon, but it's 500 requests / month free and then $10 for 10000 with the next plan up ($1 / 1000). One person alone could blast through 500 in 10 minutes.

Hey even I want manga timer I saw that the manga timer is working I found something for webtoons https://www.tappytoon.com/ They have both schedule for comics and novels https://github.com/tappytoon/react-native-gesture-handler

[AbandonedCart]

@UmbrellaalAcademy It's a nice site, but they don't have an API listed. Their source is mostly libraries used in their app that require publishing changes for license terms.

[JohnVictoryz]

actually for mangaupdates and all i found a cool kotlin api for the mangaupdates here it is: https://github.com/Mohamed-Ali-K/MangaUpdate-API

i may actually be able to make this feature if i use this but it will take time

[AbandonedCart]

It's already done. I found that one after I had already started writing a proprietary one and it cut a lot of the dead weight of retrieving stuff that'll never get used.

But the days are still not accurate Thts wht others told Idont read much mangas Just told to add this cause it was looking empty 🥲

[JohnVictoryz]

wdym i think its somewhat accurate also like from what i understand you also like want to have like a countdown from when the last chapter has been released

[ghost]

wdym i think its somewhat accurate also like from what i understand you also like want to have like a countdown from when the last chapter has been released

Yh it's already added Wht I'm saying is that the countdown isn't accurate for few mangas And it's not even working on some mangas🤷🏻

when it is not working it is probably because it is not in mangaupdates and when it is inaccurate is probably because mangaupdates is also inaccurate because i dont see anything wrong in the code
