/register

Link or relink your AniList account for guild features

Overview

The /register command starts a secure AniList OAuth flow and links your AniList account to your Discord profile.

Use this when you first connect your AniList account, or when you want to relink to a different account.

Command syntax

/register

This command takes no parameters.

What happens after you run /register

1. Annie Mei creates a short-lived OAuth context.
2. The bot sends an ephemeral response with a Link AniList Account button.
3. The button opens the auth service OAuth start route in your browser.
4. After AniList authorization, Annie Mei stores your linked AniList identity.
5. You can check the linked profile with /whoami.

Usage examples

/register

You get a private message with a button that starts the OAuth flow.

Response messages

Success

Click the button below to link your AniList account. This secure link is only for you and expires in about 5 minutes.

If the page says the link expired or failed, or if you ever need to reconnect AniList later, run `/register` again in Discord.

Includes a button labeled Link AniList Account.

OAuth flow unavailable

AniList account linking is not configured right now. Please try again later.

Required OAuth settings are missing from the bot environment.

Flow start failed

I couldn't start the AniList linking flow right now. Please try again in a moment.

Try again after a short delay.

What changes after linking

Once linked, Annie Mei can display your AniList status in guild lookups for media in your AniList list.

1. Profile data stored

   Your Discord ID is stored with your AniList user ID and AniList username.

2. Guild status is enabled

   /anime and /manga show member status and score for titles in your list.

3. Verify your link

   Use /whoami to confirm which AniList account is currently linked.

Privacy and data storage

Annie Mei stores the following data when linked:

Discord User ID

Numeric Discord user ID

AniList User ID

Numeric AniList user ID

AniList Username

Current public AniList username

The bot does not store:

• your Discord display name
• AniList watch/read history
• raw AniList passwords or client credentials

Troubleshooting

Guild media output does not include my status

Possible causes

• Registration has not finished successfully
• The media is not in your AniList list
• Your AniList profile privacy settings block visibility

Fix

• Run /register and complete the OAuth flow again
• Verify privacy settings in AniList

My secure link expired or failed

Possible causes

• The link is time-limited (default: around 5 minutes)
• OAuth context became invalid before you finished authorization

Fix

• Run /register again to generate a new link

I want to unlink my AniList account

The bot has no /unregister command. Contact your bot administrator to remove stored link data.

Source code reference

Implementation: src/commands/register/command.rs

register() defines the slash command and run() creates the OAuth link using AUTH_SERVICE_BASE_URL.

The AniList browser flow is completed by the separate auth service described in Auth service.
