I've gotten as far returning a list of all my lists, but I want to save the data from each list, i.e. the actual series on the list. The api doesn't really have any examples and I feel like I'm stumbling around in the dark...

Hi,

Use searchListPost: https://api.mangaupdates.com/#tag/lists/operation/searchListsPost

Edit: You can use retrieveLists to get the IDs of your lists: https://api.mangaupdates.com/#tag/lists/operation/retrieveLists

Thank you for answering!

What about private lists? Do we have the functionality to access those yet? All my lists are private, so I noticed I was getting all 404 status codes 😢

IGNORE ABOVE

I found an example of someone using your API and I realized I didn't add all the necessary info correctly.

I had placed the page data in the same object/dict as the Auth data, which was wrong.

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

The next thing is the page data. I don't quite understand how it works.

{
"page": 0,
"perpage": 0
}

I want ALL my data. Do I need to go in and look at the actual lists find how many items there are? My assumption was that using "0" would return all the data, but all I got was

{'status': 'exception', 'reason': 'Field Validation Error', 'context': [{'page': '"0" must be greater than 0'}, {'perpage': '"0" must be greater than 0'}]}

Ah, I see. I had to set "perpage" to some arbitrarily high number in order to get everything for the list I tested.

Wouldn't it be better for the "lists" get request to return the "'total_hits" value (aka the number of list items) in the information about the list? To me, that seems more important that returning the list's icon.

Hi,

If you look at the documentation for searchListsPost, you can see that it returns "total_hits" in the response. You can then use paging (i.e., pull the first 100 items, with perpage=100, and then the next 100 items, etc) until you hit total_hits.

You should be able to retrieve everything like this. If you set your list "perpage" to All, then it will return everything at once (up to 2k items I believe?)

That's what I ended up doing.

I just feel like it would make more sense to include the list count in the info for the lists (from the get response). The way I had to do it was make a post request for the "total_hits" then another post request once the pages were divided appropriately (for each page, since I can't get all 4600+ series from my PTR list in one go). Setting the "perpage" to 2000 resulted in it setting itself to 75 (I had to set a number for the math; I may have done something wrong, but I couldn't figure it out). I just used 1000.

I hope what I'm saying makes sense ^_^;

But I did get it figured out in the end 🙂

Thanks.

can someone tell me how to get the series id, I don't know where I can find it. I'm making a web application called maousect. and I'm a big fans of manhwa so I want to make an app to show status of all. I want to get all manhwa details. this site is my only hope can someone tell how to get the manhwa list from Baka updates api or any other way possible
