MAL-Cover

Simple API to generate image cover CSS for MyAnimeList list.

Installation

docker run -p 34001:34001 rl404/mal-cover

Endpoints

/{user}/{type}

Will generate CSS according to MyAnimeList username and type. For example:

• https://mal-cover.herokuapp.com/rl404/anime?style=...
• https://mal-cover.herokuapp.com/rl404/manga?style=...

/auto

Will get username and type by reading URL page that call this endpoint. Just put this endpoint in CSS file like a normal import CSS file. For example:

• @import url(https://mal-cover.herokuapp.com/auto?style=...);
• @\import "https://mal-cover.herokuapp.com/auto?style=...";

Styling

This is the most important part. Both endpoint needs a style param. The style value depends on how your list show your anime/manga cover image.

For example.

Your list's image cover style is like this.

.animetitle[href*='/37716/']:before{
    background-image: url(https://myanimelist.cdn-dena.com/images/anime/1889/93555.jpg)
}

Convert it by replacing anime/manga id to {id} and image URL to {url}.

.animetitle[href*='/{id}/']:before{background-image:url({url})}

Encode it using URL encode.

.animetitle%5Bhref%2A%3D%27%2F%7Bid%7D%2F%27%5D%3Abefore%7Bbackground-image%3Aurl%28%7Burl%7D%29%7D

Then use it in endpoint as style param.

https://mal-cover.herokuapp.com/rl404/anime?style=.animetitle%5Bhref%2A%3D%27%2F%7Bid%7D%2F%27%5D%3Abefore%7Bbackground-image%3Aurl%28%7Burl%7D%29%7D

Good luck.
