This is a React-based wesbite that allows the user to search for anime and display various anime titles. Additionally, the user can hover over the title cards to see the year the anime was released as well as the media type of the anime.
The project uses the Jikan API to obtain results from the search input and responds to the client with all the results from the search, like images, alternate names, a synopsis, etc. We incorporated various objects like the title and year from the JSON response into our project.
One problem we faced while working on the project was which API to use in our project. We initially were going to use the MyAnimeList API to provide search results to the user. However, we ran into authentication problems that hindered our ability to work on the project. Therefore, we decided to use the Jikan API because it gave the same results as the MyAnimeList API besides updating user info, and the Jikan API had no authentication.
