Questions about AniDB Client and AniDB API

Post by Finalspace »

Hi there,

how get the anidb client the Anime Data infos from anidb database ?
Its possible with UDP-API or something ?

Simple i want to do this:

Retrieve all for my own anidb client relevant infos, because i want to include this in my storage application.
I dont want to hash ed2k/crc or something like this.
I want to add manually Animes, from a Combobox.

Code: Select all

  AniDB.WantToReadAllTables;
  while (AniDB.GetTableEntry <> NULL) do
  begin
    AnimeName = AniDB.GetAnimeFromActualTableEntry;
    AnimeEpisodesCount = AniDB.GetAnimeEpsCountFromActualTableEntry;
    ...
  end;
of course i want to this one time and store this in a local database and update only the changes.

i have absolutly no idea how to do this.

I heard from a TCP/IP API in AniDB, but i dont found a docu for this.

thx,
Final

the tcp-api is closed and you won't get access to it.
if you can't do it with the udp you are screwed: http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2328
