FR: add streaming to getAnimeSearch

[chrisgrieser]

Thanks for this nice API! I am currently working on a small Alfred plugin to search for anime.

One thing I'd like to do is to add the streaming sites available. While streaming is listed when requesting information on an individual MAL entry, it is omitted in the results for getAnimeSearch. This makes it necessary to send a separate request for each MAL entry found, which is kinda cumbersome (and also hits the API rate limit quickly).

Could streaming be added to the results from getAnimeSearch?

I did a quick triage on this, and it's possible to do. We only have to update this array to map in the "streaming" attribute, as it's already being pulled by the parser for the main MAL page of anime entries: https://github.com/jikan-me/jikan-rest/blob/master/app/Http/Resources/V4/AnimeResource.php#L256

However after the update, in the mongodb all items needs to be expired so all items would be scraped again.

Side note just for your interest @chrisgrieser: I think Raycast does the same thing as Alfred. It already has the extension for searching anime through jikan api: https://github.com/raycast/extensions/blob/main/extensions/myanimelist-search/src/components/searchAnimeList.tsx#L14

There are some other common data that are not returned in the initial objects either (like related, themes, external) so we could size down the JSON complexity and size. If we're to allow for streaming, we'd have to look into those too. i think the best approach for this would be the addition of the optional/additional data params

I think we discussed something similar here: #493
