Exporting MDList with metadata? :implemented:

[Hyperspace]

It would be appreciated if we could export our MDList with its various relevant metadata such as its Follow Status, URL, Title ID, Genre, Theme, etc.

It would be very useful for backing up and to perform any further self-analysis of followed manga. And possibly importing it back into MangaDex itself.

Thanks for taking this suggestion into consideration and your hard work!

Thank you very much, didn't realize the API could do this. However, https://api.mangadex.org/v2/user/me/followed-manga gives some information that I don't need (e.g. userID, volume, chapter) and lacks some information that I need (e.g. tags separated into genre and theme respectively, url list of all cover images not just the current main cover)

I assume that "/manga/{id}/covers" gets me the url list of covers already, but does "/tag" separate the tags into genre/theme? How could I get that page to return only certain specified elements freely that covers the needs above?

Why ask when you can just read it and see for yourself

The answer is yes

How could I get that page to return only certain specified elements freely that covers the needs above?

What does this mean? You need a custom response specifically? Why?

If that's the case, you could write yourself a proxy API, but I don't really understand the point

That clarifies things a bit, thanks. The API was choke full of information, I've missed out some.

"/tag" only says "Get all tags" and made no mention of separation into genre/theme, so I asked that for clarification. Might want to amend that to mention it in case some else asks a similar question.

Finally, is the source code for https://api.mangadex.org/v2/user/me/followed-manga available somewhere? I would like to see how the API is implemented on that page (with respect to https://api.mangadex.org/v2/) so I can code the custom responses myself.

I didn't think it was necessary to mention, since that information is clearly available.

No, it's not and it will not be. I don't understand why you would need to see our implementation, since it's the responses you need to concern yourself with regardless. Seeing how we wrote the API won't help you write yours.
