Thanks for the interest!

I have no plans for implementing this feature for now. It's not possible to make a complete information scraper using the UDP API (The key feature I'm missing is Episode descriptions). You're probably better of using the HTTP API for that kind of information and using this library only for mylist management.

That said, I'm not against including character information functionality if anyone would implement it. I'm leaving this open as a feature request.

@winterbird-code i checked already, thats why i came here, http api does not support getting characters. Maybe you can help me somehow? I work on an ai project currently where people can make characters (ofc based on already existing ones too), but i wanna keep it nice and clean and filter out any cards with characters that are under 18(it will get the name of the char and would check the age on anidb), any other way i could do this?

As far as I can tell you can't use the UDP API for that either. There doesn't seem to be a way to search for a character by name (only ID), and the UDP API doesn't return age information. See definition here. Sorry, can't help you with that (and it's out of scope for this topic).
