Is the JSON file being updated

[sagaya]

I saw the JSON file in the documentation https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phanirithvij/Myanimewebsite/master/twistlinks.json i just want to know if this file is being updated with the latest twist.moe anime's and episodes, this will be very useful.

[phanirithvij]

No it's not up to date. I lost the code to generate it. I keep forgetting about it. I will update it soon.
Please remind me by adding a comment here when you read this.

[sagaya]

Okay, please update it thank you. Also if you could explain how you generated it, it will be so helpful

[sagaya]

Hi, please are don't forget to update the JSON file.

[phanirithvij]

I did it.
Do a git pull and then,

python allanime.py filename.json # the filename to save

[phanirithvij]

Close this issue if it works.

The format of the output json is different from the one in the REAMDE

[sagaya]

It will be really helpful if you can format it like the README one, i already started using it in a script and i have downloaded close to 1,000 animes don't want to have to start all over again.

[phanirithvij2000]

You can write a script to change the json to that format pretty easily.

Thank you.

Sorry to bring this up on a closed thread, but I got this error when using python3 allanime.py filename.json

Reading from "data.json" and storing in "filename.json"

Any idea how to solve it?

@vivian-ng I'm not in a place where there's a good network so I need some time to take a look at this. But I will. Please remind me in 2 days if possible.

[vivian-ng]

@phanirithvij Thanks for taking time to look into this issue.

[vivian-ng]

@phanirithvij python3 allanime.py filename.json still gives the same error, if you can share information on how the JSON file is requested and built, I can try to find out what is the problem.

[phanirithvij]

@vivian-ng sorry I forgot to reply here, check the new allanimenew.py file, but note that for now, it only fetches the anime info from their API link. Episode links are NOT queried. implemented

[phanirithvij]

@vivian-ng Also the json format is different from the previous version, and if you need backward compatibility like OP you can write a simple script to convert it.

[vivian-ng]

@phanirithvij Thank you for solving it. The script now uses the fixed output file new.json and new.min.json even if a filename is specified as an argument. But at least it can download the json file now. Hurray!
