In this section you will see various examples about library usage

Initializing client and search anime

import askitsu
import asyncio

client = askitsu.Client()

After initializing the client, you can start searching something To do it, you’ll have to make an async function

import askitsu
import asyncio

client = askitsu.Client()

async def main():
    anime = await client.search_anime('aot')
    print(anime.title)
    print(anime.episode_count)
    print(anime.youtube_url)
    await client.close()

And last we’ll execute it using asyncio

import askitsu
import asyncio

client = askitsu.Client()

async def main():
    anime = await client.search_anime('aot')
    print(anime.title)
    print(anime.episode_count)
    print(anime.youtube_url)
    await client.close()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

This will print out

Fetch characters

To fetch characters we’ll start by using the previous code as a reference; We will make a function that takes in input a name of an anime and returns a list of characters

import askitsu
import asyncio

client = askitsu.Client()

async def main(title: str = None):
    anime = await client.search_anime(title)
    characters = await anime.characters
    await client.close()
    return characters

if __name__ == '__main__':
    anime_name = input("Search any anime: ")
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    characters = loop.run_until_complete(main(anime_name))
    for char in characters:
        print(char.name)

This will give as output all the characters (max 20) of the given anime
