Oh my. Literally the worst API in the universe. How can you shutdown without saying any word? No announcement, no nothing.
Some people are saying that this can be related to the new development of the official mobile application for MyAnimeList. This is a quite sad.
In other words, there is a new API running, because I doubt that they will create a mobile app officially using web scrapping. But even if they are building a new API, this doesn't means that they will make as public.
This is horrible. We should deserves at least a announcement, a warning for the API being dropped etc. Digging in the MAL forums someone in the staff said that the API will be disabled INDEFINITELY. What means: probably forever.
This is a shame.
I completely agree with you. I sent a ticket to their support system about what's going on, if I get any useful response I'll post it here.
By the way, do you know any better service other than MyAnimeList that I can track of my anime/manga adventure? I don't want to support them and their horrible service anymore. I mean local sqlite database fits for this job though, I may try that.

I'm looking for a better solution as well, some people that I know talk to me about the https://anilist.co/ (which seems nice, but the dev seems a lot agressive and change the url and the internal system a LOT) and kitsu.io, which have a funny name.
I particurlly don't use any of them, but kitsu.io supports import all our list data from mal, which will save our time. I don't know yet if anilist has the same feature, though I liked more the anilist interface than kitsu.
Cool, I didn't know about Kitsu. I will try them when I have time. Thanks!
Use Jikan? https://github.com/AWConant/jikanpy
Kitsu has the same problem as anilist. Dev keeps changing stuff. Used to be hummingbird and now thinga changed.
Not saying it's bad but either settle down with the my"nothing changes"animelist or the anilist"maybe changes"kitsu
Remember, you can import MAL list to anilist and kitsu but not the other way around.
There's notify.moe but things are in eternal refactoring beta.
An announcement from MAL staff.
@ryukinix I can't view/access to the image you posted.

Waits for 10 years
MAL staff: just finishing some stuff before the new API closed beta
"I hope you will continue to put your trust in us and find our overall service rewarding and useful."
Ha ha, no thanks.
This is the second day.
This is getting intense.
This incident made me see there are how many MAL fanboys out there.
everyday we stray further from god
This is my favorite anime now. Can't wait to see the 3rd episode.

Just for your information, I started using Kitsu and apparently their source code is completely open-source, both server and client side. I also found trackma CLI for an alternative to this repository, it even has curses interface, Kitsu integration, auto-increase episodes count after finishing an episode and such features.
Trackman seems pretty neat, thanks for sharing @kutsan
BTW, something from the official news:

@ryukinix Yeah, I like it a lot too. You are welcome!
Now we can export our lists: https://myanimelist.net/announcement/201806
It seems MAL new API it's more or less useful right now, but I'm not sure if I should resurrect that software with mal. Currently, I don't even use mal anymore, I use much more anilist.
If we resurrect that, it would be nice if we can choose a mal data source provider between myanimelist and anilist. These days I've been using another software that works like this, but is implemented in Golang: https://github.com/aqatl/mal
Description
It's eternally dead? Will be shutdown forever?
We need research for info. I didn't find nothing yet.
Reading info in the subreddit of MyAnimeList seems that all 3rd apps are now broken due to the aggressive move of myanimelist shutdown it's own API. We need look for more info.
