Grabbing list openapi spec from redoc
import requests
import json
# grab
# const __redoc_state =
def grab_spec_from_redoc(url = "https://myanimelist.net/apiconfig/references/api/v2"):
r = requests.get(url)
spec = r.text
# iterate line by line
for line in spec.splitlines():
if "__redoc_state" in line:
# grab the json
raw_spec = line.split("= ")[1]
# remove trailing ;
raw_spec = raw_spec[:-1]
break
# parse json
redoc_spec = json.loads(raw_spec)
# go to data.openapi
openapi_spec = redoc_spec["spec"]["data"]
# write to file
with open("spec.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(openapi_spec, f)

grab_spec_from_redoc()
Grabbing the openapi spec from the redoc script in js, we can easily save that to a json file.
For redoc, the openapi spec is stored in the __redoc_state variable. We can grab that variable using regex and save it to a json file.
Note that the openapi spec is stored in the spec.openapi variable and could possibly be invalid.
Afer saving the openapi spec to a json file, we can use the openapi generator to generate a dotnet client.
openapi-generator-cli generate -i myanime_spec.json -g csharp-netcore --additional-properties=targetFramework=net6.0 --additional-properties=nullableReferenceTypes=true
This will create folders under src/ called Org.OpenAPITools and Org.OpenAPITools.Test. We can reference the from Org.OpenAPITools to our project and use the generated client.
dotnet new console -o src/Anime
dotnet sln add src/Anime
This will create a new console project under src/Anime and add it to the solution.

// get top anime
Loosely following the instructions on the openapi generator ReadMe.md, we can generate a dotnet client and use it to grab the top anime and airing from myanimelist.
For my previous articles, I generated subtitled anime openings for anime, but I wanted to generate the anime openings for the top anime on myanimelist. Now I can, but I doubt I will get that many views.
