AnimeCon REST API

Installation instructions

Pre requisites:

• PHP 7.4+
• An functional AnPlan database

To get started you will need to clone the API, and copy the .env file to a .env.local file.

In your .env.local file, please edit the DATABASE_URL parameter to point to your AnPlan database.

Next, run composer install and configure your webserver of choice to point to public/index.php. Ensure that the APP_ENV is set to prod in the event that you are setting up a production environment, otherwise you might expose your credentials.

Important! Do not under any circumstance run any Doctrine command.

Working with the API

Getting started with the API is easy, simply navigate to the hostname you've configured in your webserver and you will be presented with a fully fledged documentation.

Some endpoints and properties may require authentication, documentation for this is pending (and so is the authentication itself.)

Building a client

Due to the fact that the API is built upon API Platform (https://api-platform.com/) it is relatively easy to adapt it's output to your needs. This is also the reason the default response may be overkill for your use case, for a regular JSON response you'll want to set the Accept header to application/json.
