mal

Audit and backfill verified MAL links for metadata fallback.

manifold registry mal [flags]

Audits active registry rows and fills missing MAL links from AniList’s idMal. It queries AniList from your machine, which can work when AniList blocks the Worker’s IP. No AniList or MAL login is needed. The registry API token is required.

The default is read-only. --apply uses registry ingestion to attach proven links, preserving UUIDs and rejecting conflicting ownership. It never changes list state, title-matches, or replaces an existing MAL link. Run it before an outage to prepare existing AniList entries for MAL detail fallback.

Flags

--apply

Persist verified links. Default: false. Review the dry-run report first.

Example:

manifold registry mal --apply

--limit <n>

Check at most n active AniList-linked rows missing a MAL link. The registry is fully paged before applying the limit. Default: all eligible rows.

Example:

manifold registry mal --limit 50

AniList rate limiting

The command waits a fixed 2.5 seconds between AniList lookups. This is hardcoded because AniList is currently in a degraded state with a 30-requests- per-minute limit. Each lookup has a 15-second timeout.

--api-token <token>

Override the registry API token. Defaults to MANIFOLD_TOKEN.

Example:

manifold registry mal --api-token "$MANIFOLD_TOKEN"

--api-origin <url>

Override the API origin. Defaults to MANIFOLD_API_ORIGIN, then https://manifold.jfa.dev/api.

Example:

manifold registry mal --api-origin https://manifold.example/api

Reading the report

The audit counts active rows, existing MAL links, missing links, and rows without an AniList link. Rows with no idMal remain unmapped. Tombstoned rows are skipped. Conflicts and upstream failures are errors, not missing matches. The command continues through individual errors and exits nonzero if any fail. Successful writes remain applied; rerunning skips their existing MAL links.
