AniList Prometheus Exporter

Get the tokens

First, you need to create an OAuth client for the exporter. Use https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/pin as the redirect URL. Once this is done, you can get the client id and client secret in your developer page. Set the ALPE_ANILIST_CLIENT_ID and ALPE_ANILIST_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables accordingly.

Then, you want to visit the following URL in a web browser (replace YOUR_CLIENT_ID by the value obtained previously) :

https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fanilist%2Eco%2Fapi%2Fv2%2Foauth%2Fpin&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID

Click "Authorize" and copy the text that is provided to you. This is a token that will enable the exporter to access your account. On the first run, you will need to set this value in the ALPE_ANILIST_AUTH_CODE environment variable.

Run with Docker (recommended)

First, we need a file to save the tokens :

touch tokens.json
chmod 600 tokens.json

Then, we need to build the container :

docker build . -t alpe

And finally we run the image :

docker run --name anilist_exporter \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -e 'ALPE_ANILIST_CLIENT_ID=...' \
    -e 'ALPE_ANILIST_CLIENT_SECRET=...' \
    -e 'ALPE_ANILIST_AUTH_CODE=...' \
    -e 'ALPE_TOKENS_FILE=/etc/alpe/tokens.json' \
    -v './tokens.json:/etc/alpe/tokens.json' \
    alpe:latest 

Run with NodeJS (dev)

Note: so far, this has only be tested with node 18

First, we install the dependencies :

npm install

Then, we create the file for the tokens and we set the variables :

touch tokens.json
chmod 600 tokens.json
export ALPE_ANILIST_CLIENT_ID='...'
export ALPE_ANILIST_CLIENT_SECRET='...'
export ALPE_ANILIST_AUTH_CODE='...'

And then we can run :

npm run dev
