Ok, I'm not sure where to post this because there is no help forum. But anyways, I'm making a python script to sync 'myanimelist' with this site and I need to be able to parse the 'alt' names for series. Rather than pulling the entire manga page via:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=<series-id>
I'd like a way to just pull the said part to save bandwidth and speed.
Is there a way to do this or am i even allowed to?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean... synchronize? Could you elaborate a bit?

Since My Anime List also has a manga list feature, I assume they're trying to synchronise the title names with MangaUpdates.
I wonder if it's constant synchronisation or a one-time thing.

We're not currently affiliated with myanimelist, so I'm not entirely sure what evilsage4 wants ... Does he just want to have some interface where he can put in a series id and get a list of titles? I don't know what that would do for him/her

I'll pull my entire list of manga from "myanimelist.net" and the entire list of manga from mangaupdates.com, store it, then synchronize the two so that they both have all the entries from the other via python then upload that synchronized data to both of the said sites.
But in order to 'auto' sync, I'll need a list of 'associated names' for each series to check against because most series have name variations from 'myanimelist' to 'mangaupdates'
I hope this helps explain my purpose.
It's something I'm working on with a group of guys that will sync anidb, myanimelist, mangaupdates and maybe thesubwire. It has a few features other than syncing as well.
our source tree is here:
http://github.com/skriticos/ac/tree/master my alias is "dankles" on github
All GPL v3
Anyways, thanks for the replies
EDIT:
The way I'm currently going about all this is through screen scraping and manual ajax calls. Dunno if you needed to know that...
