Add support Shikimori

[imKota]

Please add support Shikimori
It uses data from the animeist (the same id as in mal), but this data is translated into Russian.

There is no mapping with ANiDB nor TheTVDB, technically AniDB could provide MALid but cannot see what benefits it brings, especially if it's just ANimeList information translated...

I see no way to include that with reliable mapping into HAMA, which will stop having major functionality anytime soon when TheTVDB stops the free API access...

There is no mapping with ANiDB

@ZeroQI There is a comparison with other sites(mal, ann, anidb, wa).

We can map from the MALid (if AniDB provides it) to anidb https://shikimori.one/api/animes/48488/external_links but cannot find any episode information...

What fields are provided by that, which are better than the actually already supported, and how is that support to be added more important than the impeding TVDB doom as soon as they cut the plug to the API by requiring subscription?

[imKota]

Doesn't anidb store episode information?
I remember that these data are available there.

Why should i work on that?

• What fields are so badly handled by current metadata providers currently that i have to add yet another metadata source ?
• Please document which fields are impacted by this bad metadata and how this additional potential metadata source solves it
• HAMA will lose TheTVDB as metadata source when they disable legacy APIs [https://github.com/TheTVDB v4 licensing and HAMA future #457]. How is this request more important ?

Hello, @ZeroQI
On the Shikimori, everything is translated into Russian, including descriptions, character names, seiyu, directors, etc.
It would be nice to add support for the Russian language. Since there are no translated names on mal/anidb, and everything on Shikimori.

Hama uses mainly AniDB or TheTVDB ID as unique ID and AnimeList to do a perfect mapping of the episodes between both regardless if the series follow AniDB and TheTVDB numbering.

This metadata source follow MaL ID so asking Meal developper to add support is more feasible as even if this metadata source has full metadata entered, MaL numbering will differ for some series with AniDB and TheTVDB so will create mismatched data. Even having AniDB or TheTVDB I'd from that source will not solve this mapping issue

TheTVDB supports Russian so ideally one would enter metadata for series there, but it will pass behind a paywall any month now...
