Hummingbird sync botched

All my ratings get rounded to even numbers, and many shows are in the wrong lists.

tofuness commented

Known problem. One of the big issues right now is that the Hummingbird API is in a bad state and difficult to work with. I suggest using MyAnimeList (or offline) for now.

The Hummingbird API has never had a problem dealing with lists. The only feasible way this is happening is bad implementation on the client side.

@wopian
My concerns:

  • There is no manga API even though there is manga on the website.
  • API hangs for people with large lists.
  • /anime/myanimelist:{malid} from V2 doesn't seem to be completely accurate.

@matthewdias
What is your HB username?

matthewdias commented

matthewdias. I don't have anywhere close to a long list.

wopian commented

API hangs if people have large lists.

A simple workaround it to send a request for each status type.

HB sync shouldn't even be using the MAL ID for anime though?

I agree. Mistake from my side to rely on the V2 endpoint. When I built the syncer for HB I was thinking about allowing people to freely sync between services which turned out to be more difficult than I thought.

I'm pretty sure the way HAPU handles it is just by scrobbling to both. theres not much of a use case for syncing them directly.
