MyAnimeList

Ryot supports importing data from MyAnimeList. To enable this functionality, you need to register an application with MyAnimeList to obtain a client ID.

You can follow the below steps to obtain your own client ID and enable MyAnimeList import.

Steps

1. Create a MyAnimeList account.
2. Go to API in your account preferences.
3. Click on "Create ID".
4. Fill out the application form. Here are some explanations for the fields:
   • App Name: Give your application a name (e.g., "Ryot Personal")
   • App Type: Select "Web"
   • App Redirect URL: This can be any valid URL (e.g., https://github.com). It is not used by Ryot.
   • Homepage URL: This can be any valid website URL. It is not used by Ryot.
5. Once you have filled the form, submit the application.
6. Once approved, you will see your application details. Copy the Client ID.
