Why anilist doesn't provide adult content info?

[proohit]

Hey :) currently external services only extend the description of an anime. Which fields do you need additionally?

[proohit]

Okay I got your question correctly now. According to the database FAQ anilist doesn't provide adult anime info publicly, which is why they aren't included in the database. I will have to see if it's possible to enrich manually while still aligning to their license.

When I read their API info they had written something about adult content info like you have to meet certain conditions for this don't remember clearly though. I want to use your project in my anime streaming site(currently still working on it 😁). The thing is whenever I wants to update an anime I need to manually add all info so I was trying to find a way where I can directly get all info through anilist API that's why I was surfing in GitHub to find some good references and I really liked yours one.

Cool, be sure to leave a link and glad to hear the project is useful to you :).

Generally, I rely on the underlying anime offline database, which does much of the heavy lifting. Meaning any considerations in the database may apply to this project as well.

Furthermore you might consider two things: The database is not 100% completed in terms of meta data provider mapping as you have correctly pointed out. Also it does not include all info. For example, I add (enrich) the description of an anime manually when a query result only has one anime.

If you have an idea on how to map adult anime with no anilist mapping to anilist, PRs are always welcomed!

Yes, of course. The pleasure is mine
