It seems they shut it down due to a vulnerability, passwords need to be reset as well. You'll get this message if you try to log-in through the website.

You can still use Trackma by disabling autosend/autoretrieve in the settings panel while they fix the issue. Your changes will get queued up.

Since it's been a while since MAL is down I made this script to export your Trackma list (anime+MAL only) to a MyAnimeList XML list. This way you can import it in other site that supports this format.

I tested it in Anilist and it works, tell me if there's any issue.

Great stuff @z411, only problems encountered were on anilist's end with not having entries for some shows. Might be worth adding the functionality to the account selection dialog(s).

Made a quick edit to extract my friends' lists - only applies to people using that branch, which is probably just me, but on the offchance anyone else is and sees this, here you go https://gist.github.com/Birdulon/b03c2d0a258dc3fa62cdef9b9211feaf

Is it possible to use jikan.moe api for mal?

[z411]

@ahmubashshir Apparently jikan.moe only works to fetch information, not to edit your list. The call to get the seasons is cool, though.

Does the MAL API going into open beta mean that MAL support is going to return in the foreseeable future?

[z411]

@TheVexedGerman Yes. But as someone mentioned in the thread the "open" beta doesn't seem to be an open beta, it's just a closed beta where developers in it are allowed to release their working implementations. I'm not in the beta so I don't know what the API looks like at all. We'll have to wait for the public release.

Is it possible to use the Jikan API for now and switch to the official API later? Also, how do clients like Anyme and many other Android clients work? Scraping?

[mufeedali]

I rigged together a version that just uses the API calls that the website makes. Works well enough I guess...

This seems amazing... but seems like u had to abandon it. @z411 Does this work reliably enough?

EDIT: i tried to get it working, but looks like it doesnt work anymore. It's an error 400 bad request now.

The Jikan API can only be used to get read-only information about anime and user lists. There's no capability for updating user lists unfortunately.

Seems like MAL API releases July 6.

hope this gets fixed soon. seems like taiga has already re-implemented the API

[z411]

Hi, sorry for the lateness. I have been away from all kind of programming due to personal issues this year, but I just want to clear up that support for the new MAL API is planned and I will get to it as soon as I can.

@z411 Hope you have fixed your issues. It is good to hear~

[z411]

Just to update, today I finally started work on the new MyAnimeList API on the new-mal-api branch. Support for authentication (which I wasn't really sure how to implement) is now complete. The rest should be quick.

[z411]

Most basic support should be done; I merged the changes to the master branch. I haven't tested it thoroughly yet so there are bugs and error handling isn't done yet so I'll keep working on it, but it should be in a working state if anyone wants to test.

It seems to be working for me (partially)! Though I can't seem to update anything from the app. Whenever I run upload on the program I get a
Data warning: Can't process <anime_name>, will leave unsynced.
error

[z411]

What output do you get if you run Trackma with the -d command line argument? e.g. trackma-qt -d

[gabman15]

Getting this:
libmal: Updating item Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou...
[D] libmal: POST data: b'num_episodes_watched=5'
[D] libmal: URL: https://api.myanimelist.net/v3/anime/35838/my_list_status
Data: Can't process Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou, will leave unsynced.
[D] Data: Info: Connection error: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

[z411]

Can confirm. Thank you. Will look into it in a minute.

[z411]

It's a bug upstream. Implemented a workaround in 83d942e - it should work.
