Make use of Filters in Lists.

[Andy Ibanez]

When I'm done writing my Atarashii wrapper and if I have some free time, I might try to do these contributions myself. In the meantime please bear with me.

It is possible to view the list of an user using filters in the MAL site.

It is possible to only get the anime the user is currently watching, the completed ones, the dropped ones, and the ones they plan to watch.

For example this URL shows only the completed ones:

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Leonne&status=2

It is also possible to select the sort order of the selected list. This shows my Completed list sorted by type:

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Leonne&status=2&order=6

Finally, it's also possible to show only the series that have certain tags. This shows all the anime in my test user that has anime with the "Awesome OST" tag:

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Coder&tag=Awesome%20OST&status=7

Now you are probably planning on doing this since you added Personal Tags in the API 2, but I thought I should mention it. Anime lists can be very large, so sometimes we just want to fetch some series. It would be handy to only fetch the Currently Watching series in certain scenarios, for example. it's also possible an user wants to sort their lists by different criteria.

I suck at typing.

Yes I wanted something like that. I hope to get this feature implemented within 4 months.

We will first test some other things to make the API even better.

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Leonne&status=2&order=6 is impossible because each user can change the CSS which will break this feature.

Since each user can change CSS and we use the official API for the animelist this can't be added.
