| Summary | 0001779: vndb.org integration | ||||
| Description | Seeing vndb.org (Visual Novels Database) already pulls some minor data through anidb API about anime adaptations of it's entries, anidb could do the same - on anime pages link to original VNs in VNDB. I propose the addition of an extra field in anime entries that would represent the VNDB ID of the related visual novel. Filling up this field would add and VN relation, possibly in the same area where "similar anime" is currently, or it might get it's own overview table akin to Cast/Staff. This field/table could be populated by info pulled through VNDB public API. Additional check could be made for existence of "Original Work: Dating Sim - Visual Novel" or "Original Work: Game" categories for the field/table to be visible on anime page (to prevent abuse). Anime that is derived from multiple VNs (even though I can't think of an example) might pose a problem for the "single field" approach, in which case a "relation", akin to current anime relation, that allows multiple entries might be better (though I gather it would take more work to implement). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | http://vndb.org/v14 links to : - http://anidb.net/a5117 - http://anidb.net/a5536 - http://anidb.net/a5685 | ||||
| Additional Information | VNDB API documentation: http://vndb.org/d11 Currently, the biggest drawback seems to be the lack of ability to grab the image related to an entry or its NSFW flag (compatible with anidb "hide pictures with adult content" user setting) via API. VNDB connection limits could be overcome by grabbing data in batches at regular intervals, as API allows fetching multiple entries in a single request by sending array of ids instead of a single id. | ||||
