AniList and MyAnimeList

What connecting does

  • Every episode you finish in Anibeam is marked on your list, with nothing to type.
  • Status, score and notes you set in Anibeam go to the list too.
  • Your progress shows on the cards, and Library lists what you watch on AniList.

Without a list, Anibeam still remembers what you watched on this computer. Counts only ever go up: Anibeam never lowers an episode count on your list.

Connect AniList

AniList signs Anibeam in through a small app of your own, which you make once. It takes about a minute, and Anibeam walks you through it.

  1. Open SettingsAccounts and press Connect AniList.
  2. Press Open the developer page. AniList's developer settings open in your browser. Create a new client, with any name.
  3. In Anibeam, press Copy the address and paste it into the client's Redirect URL box on AniList exactly as it is. Save the client.
  4. Copy the client's Client ID, a number, and paste it into Anibeam's Client ID field.
  5. Press Connect. AniList asks you to sign in and approve Anibeam, and the sheet closes by itself.

The sign-in happens in your browser, so Anibeam never sees your password.

Connect MyAnimeList

  1. Open SettingsAccounts and press Connect MyAnimeList.
  2. Press Open the developer page. MyAnimeList's API page opens in your browser. Create an ID with App Type set to other.
  3. In Anibeam, press Copy the address and paste it into App Redirect URL on MyAnimeList exactly as it is. Fill in the other boxes the form needs and submit it.
  4. Copy the app's Client ID, a long string, and paste it into Anibeam's Client ID field. Leave Client secret empty unless you picked the Web app type.
  5. Press Connect, sign in on MyAnimeList and approve Anibeam.

Both at once

Connect both and each gets every update. Main list under SettingsAccounts decides which one the cards show progress from.

Other settings

  • Sync now reads every connected list again. Anibeam also does this when it starts.
  • Move to On hold moves a Watching show you have not played for a while to On hold. Playing it moves it back.
  • Lists on this computer moves a status or score you set before connecting onto your list, with Review and move.
  • Disconnect on a list's row removes the sign-in from this computer.

Hiding a show in Anibeam also stops it syncing.
