Class AniLink

constructor

• new AniLink(
      authToken?: string | AniLinkCredentials,
      options?: RequestOptions & Partial<Record<never, never>>,
  ): AniLink

  Creates a new AniLink instance. The authToken parameter is optional and only required for authenticated queries and mutations; without it only public queries are available. Multiple instances can hold different authTokens, each exposing an AniListApi under anilist and a MyAnimeListApi under mal.

  Alternatively, pass a per-provider AniLinkCredentials object: each provider owns its own credentials shape, and credentials given under one key are never applied to another provider's requests.

  Parameters

  • OptionalauthToken: string | AniLinkCredentials

    The authentication token to use for AniList API requests, or a per-provider credentials object ({ anilist?: …, mal?: … }).

  • Optionaloptions: RequestOptions & Partial<Record<never, never>>

    Transport settings scoped to this instance: timeout, signal cancellation, automatic retries under the default policy (retry: false opts out), opt-in paceWithRateLimit pacing and circuitBreaker fast-fail, the onError/onRetry/onRequestStart/onResponse observability hooks, and exposeRawAxiosError debugging. Options never leak between instances. When the first argument is a credentials object, this parameter is unused (transport settings belong inside each provider's credentials).

  Returns AniLink

  Example

  const aniLink = new AniLink('authToken');
  
  const aniLink2 = new AniLink();
  
  // Per-instance transport settings:
  const tuned = new AniLink('authToken', {
      timeout: 10_000,
      retry: false, // opt out of the default retry policy
      onResponse: ({ url, durationMs }) => console.log(url, durationMs),
  });
  
  // Per-provider credentials (each provider keeps its own token):
  const multi = new AniLink({
      anilist: { authToken: 'anilist-token', timeout: 5_000 },
      mal: { accessToken: 'mal-token' },
  });
