It occurred to me that I didn't have an issue for this.

Things that I plan to implement:

  • Scraping data
  • Scrobbling/Syncing Lists
  • Fully automatic linking, with an override system

Specifics:

Scraping

  • Series Descriptions
  • Series Titles
  • Ratings
  • Studios/Staff/Cast
  • Multiple Language Support when available
  • Images (may be dropped if not enough unique)
  • Episode Titles/Descriptions/etc
  • Calendars
  • Suggestions
  • Trending

List Syncing

  • Automatic Initial Import To/From
  • Episode Watched Scrobbling
  • Mark/Unmark All

dropping MAL: #739

Also, which metadata will be taken for database, as anidb contains most of those you refer here

Is there any advancement on this, I have been wanting to get shoko for ages but I only use AniList for an anime MyList. Would love to see this become a thing soon as it's the only thing holding me back currently.

Not directly, but I am in the middle of rewriting the AniDB and scrobbling system. Once that is done, my next big project is probably going to be expanding the user system to better handle accounts for the various community sites. Both of these are precursors to the scrobbling and account part of this, at least.
PS nice Hifumi avatar

To build on what @da3dsoul said, its still planned and something we want to incorporate down the road but we're working on other things right now that ideally should make adding AniList and other community sites easier in the future.

With that being said, we're not going to stop anyone from adding support for it do feel free to work on it if you'd like.

TBH I might say don't if just anyone tried, because there's so much work required (code refactoring to generify everything, allowing multiple data sources, allowing and storing more community accounts, more scrobbling sources, database refactoring, etc) for this. It'd be so much effort to look over the code changes for a PR that I might as well write it myself. If cazzar or maxpiva did it, then I could trust that it's done well and just do minor cleanup. It's not so easy for a new member to make good decisions with our spaghetti sauce.

Heh, Hifumi is best girl!

It's great to know that AniList is being looked into still as while I do like anidb because my good friend Deth is a mod, I prefer AniList for a MyList sorta site.

I know it's not a small undertaking but it's nice to see it's still being worked on.

I almost lost this, so I'm putting it here.

Sorry to necropost, but what are your plans on this?

Still planned, still not started. A lot of work has been put in to clean up the code, so it would be easier than before. I have 2 more jobs and a lot less time than I did when this was first written, but stuff is happening

It's always endless cycle of rewriting/cleaning code... ;-)
