This isn't a 3rd party (Tachiyomi, Paperback etc) support thread for general users.Code:NOTE:
The current caching-related issues you may have with 3rd party clients are being worked on. There's nothing you can do but wait.
For the average MangaDex user, I doubt this announcement will be super relevant! You may be more interested in reading our previous announcement if you haven't already.
Launching API v2
For any developers looking at doing stuff with our data, however, we have an update to our API, making it hopefully much less of a headache to use. The previous version should be considered deprecated, but it is currently reachable at the same old URLs and is still actually in use by our reader (haven't bothered to update that thing yet), but regardless, we are planning on scrapping it eventually for performance reasons so please migrate your current code to v2.
https://api.mangadex.org/v2/
The API index should speak for itself. Documentation in JSON isn't necessarily the absolute best way to go about it, but I'm sure it's clear enough for you guys.
Now, this API is not complete and most likely won't ever entirely be. We wrote it as somewhat of a stopgap measure to both improve usability for 3rd parties as well as to create a solid base for us to work on a couple of features for the current site while we're doing the entire site rework, known as MangaDex v5. Future endpoints should include at least one for the latest updates (i.e. the frontpage chapter listing) among other , but if you have requests or improvement suggestions, let us know. By the way, you should expect the API to change again for v5 so sorry about that, but this version at least resembles the approach we're taking with that one.
Financial Situation and Contest
Finally, I'd like to quickly echo a couple of points from our previous announcement (which you can read for more information) just in case you missed it:
- After the donations unfortunately dried up due to our moving away from PayPal as well as the Current World Situation, we would greatly appreciate any crypto donations you could spare in order to keep the site running. Check out the Support page. We would be similarly grateful if you decided to sign up to host a MD@H server.
- We are holding our third Mega Anniversary Contest, so go ahead and take part in that as well for a chance to win some prizes, including a $50 Amazon/Steam gift card!
