---

getRecentNews

Description: Retrieves the latest news listing
URL: https://myanimelist.net/news?p=1

API Request:

(new \Jikan\MyAnimeList\MalClient())
    ->getRecentNews(
        new \Jikan\Request\News\RecentNewsRequest(1)
    );

REST API Remarks: It would probably be best to use this method to loop through each ID, fetch their details via getNews and index/populate them directly into MongoDB/TypeSense. This would allow us to provide a better search experience.

getNewsByTag

Description: Retrieves news listing by tag
URL: https://myanimelist.net/news/tag/new_anime

API Request:

(new \Jikan\MyAnimeList\MalClient())
    ->getNewsByTag(
        new \Jikan\Request\News\NewsByTagRequest('new_anime', 1)
    );

REST API Remarks: Won't need this scraper API call on the REST API because we'll have custom search.

getNewsSearch

Description: Retrieves news listing by query
URL: https://myanimelist.net/news/search?q=bleach&p=1

API Request:

(new \Jikan\MyAnimeList\MalClient())
    ->getNewsSearch(
        new \Jikan\Request\Search\NewsSearchRequest('bleach', 1)
    );

REST API Remarks: Won't need this scraper API call on the REST API because we'll have custom search.

getNewsTags

Description: Retrieves all news tags and their respective types
URL: https://myanimelist.net/news/tag

API Request:

(new \Jikan\MyAnimeList\MalClient())
    ->getNewsTags(
        new \Jikan\Request\News\NewsTagsRequest()
    );

REST API Remarks: Periodic sync and overwrite like we have for Anime and Manga Genres. There are 100+ entries and type available so we could paginate, provide basic name search (use case: auto completion), and type filter.

getNews

Description: Retrieves news resource
URL: https://myanimelist.net/news/70500055

Warning

Work in progress

API Request:

(new \Jikan\MyAnimeList\MalClient())
    ->getNews(
        new \Jikan\Request\News\News("70500055")
    );

REST API Remarks: We'll use a periodic sync strategy with getRecentNews to get all new entries in one go and keep the list updates.
