Top Manga of X

[Dan_]

Hello,
It's been a few years since I've last read on the platform and was used to a feature where I can see the top manga/most popular manga of the last day/week etc., and not just the new releases.

Is there any way in the new version of the site to navigate to this sort of view?

If not, can I fetch this information via the API so I can implement a feature like this on my own for my personal use?

I'd be very appreciative of any help as this has been a very big part of how I always found new manga to read and one of THE reasons for me to use MangaDex over other aggregators.

Thanks again for any help!

Sorry if it’s not exactly what you want but you can find best of x times of y genre by clicking a tag below a title and you will be directed to a page like this where you can pick the timeframe you want of that genre, but yeah it’s kinda a pain in the ass

Thanks for the reply!
This isn't exactly what I'm looking for but it's a start.

Is there no feature like this for all the genres?

If not can I do this through the api?

Thanks for any further help!

I suppose the popularity-based rankings you are looking for were based on chapter views, which haven't been added back to the public API yet.
I don't think there's any ETA either, since it's not a trivial addition, apparently...
You can, however, use the advanced search and sort titles by any of these attributes:

In particular, "highest rating" and "most follows" would probably be the most relevant when looking for popular entries...

Hmmm
Still not what I'm looking for as I want to see more of what's currently "hot"
But thanks for the info about that!
Honestly I don't mind at all either helping out with development or if any additional cash is needed for infrastructure for this feature etc.
Luckily im now in the cybersecurity field so I have knowledge about these areas


Is there any person that is reccommended for me to reach out to about this?

Well, the only timestamps stored on titles are creation/edit dates (and you get its chapters' data to work with). There isn't any sort of timeseries DB storing comments/chapter uploads/bookmarks over time, so good luck with that.
Nothing's stopping you from building your own tho, so feel free to have a look at the API spec/docs: https://api.mangadex.org/docs/

I see

I have a few creative ideas which might work, might not, wont know till I try

Thanks a lot for the help and resources!

Marking this as done with the response from @hahano as the closest UI answer, and I'll try to see if I can reach out to a mod to maybe help with this
If that fails I'll just develop some quick-fix for myself
