FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

JikanAuth - Unofficial MyAnimeList.net PHP AUTH API
[
]() 
JikanAuth is a PHP API for MyAnimeList.net. It allows you to login and manage your anime and manga lists. It satisfies MyAnimeList's lack of API.
This library is a sister project initiative of the Jikan API - which covers MyAnimeList entirely for GET/read requests only.
This library is not production ready and may be updated frequently, use at your own risk
Issues
JikanAuth will not be a part of the Jikan REST API.
Right now it's more or less a proof of concept due to limitations from MyAnimeList.
Reasons
- MyAnimeList will block the IP after multiple failed login attempts.
- Having a plethora amount of logins through a singular IP will raise suspicion. As you probably know, MyAnimeList has banned a huge number of proxies/VPN IPs.
Possible Solutions
- Use as a private API for your app
- Use a pool of proxies that work by injecting your own Guzzle Client
- Request MyAnimeList to whitelist your IP 🤔
- Use the PoC to come up with a client-side solution
How it works
A short preface; I'm not the first one to come up with this. I've only implemented the idea. There's quite a number of 3rd party apps that have been using this method to manage user lists since MyAnimeList's API went down.
JikanAuth uses MyAnimeList's login for to authenticate the user and uses the session data to perform further requests such as updating the user's list.
The user's list can be updated through MyAnimeList's undocumented internal API which is used via XHR on their website.
Does this mean Jikan can do XYZ too?
Yes, you can read messages, send messages, send friend requests, read notifcations, etc.
But I see no point in implementing these features because I currently don't see this being practical on a larger scale as a PHP library due to the Reasons I mentioned above.
