A GraphQL api to fetch information from mangaupdates.com

Mangaupdates GraphQL Api

About The Project

Mangaupdates (Baka-Updates Manga) has one of the most vast amount of information on different series, scanlations groups, authors and etc. However, getting usable information from the website is hard and requires people to scrape.

Note: We are not affilated with mangaupdate.com.

Built With

• NestJS
• Puppeteer
• Cheerio

Why both Puppeteer and Cheerio?

For some parts of mangaupdates, we need to interact with the page to get the data. While others we can use cheerio to parse the page, which is faster.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

• node
• npm
• redis
  • Why don't you use docker to make it easier for people to install redis?
    • I'm not running the redis container on where I deploy the nestjs application, but I should really make use of it. It will probably be easier for people to use.
