Jikan-go

A Go wrapper for the Jikan v4 API.

Notice: Jikan v4 introduces breaking changes. You will need to make changes to your code when upgrading to v1.2.0+.

Documentation can be found at go.dev.

Installation

To install/update: go install github.com/darenliang/jikan-go@latest

To import: import "github.com/darenliang/jikan-go" and use as jikan

Usage

Basic Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/darenliang/jikan-go"
)

func main() {
	// Get anime
	anime, err := jikan.GetAnimeById(1)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(anime.Data.Title)
}

Output:

Cowboy Bebop

Search Query Example

Please refer to the official Jikan API documentation for clarification on query parameters.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/darenliang/jikan-go"
	"net/url"
)

func main() {
	// Setup query
	query := url.Values{}
	query.Set("q", "Cowboy Bebop")
	query.Set("type", "tv")

	// Search anime
	search, err := jikan.GetAnimeSearch(query)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(search.Data[0].Score)
}

Output:

8.79

Troubleshooting

If it is necessary to modify the http client (eg. modify timeout), you can access the client via jikan.Client.

Example: setting the client timeout from 60 seconds (default) to 10 seconds.

jikan.Client.Timeout = time.Second * 10
