How It Works

1

Lookup on AniList

The bot first resolves the search term to an anime entry on AniList.
2

Fetch from MyAnimeList

Using the AniList data, the bot queries MyAnimeList for theme song listings.
3

Match with Spotify

For each song, the bot searches Spotify to find a track link.
4

Return embed

All songs are formatted into a Discord embed with clickable links.

​
Search Tips

The /songs command only works for anime, not manga. If the lookup does not resolve to an anime, the bot returns No such anime.
If the bot returns No such anime, try:
  • Verifying you’re searching for an anime, not a manga
  • Using the anime’s AniList ID instead of a search term
  • Using the exact romaji title from AniList
If Annie Mei finds the anime on AniList but it does not have a MyAnimeList ID, the bot returns:
Anime not found on MAL. Song data is only available for anime listed on MyAnimeList.
Annie Mei shows at most the first 10 openings and the first 10 endings to stay within Discord embed limits.

Source Code Reference

Implementation: src/commands/songs/command.rs:18 The register() function defines the command structure: 
pub fn register() -> CreateCommand {
    CreateCommand::new("songs")
        .description("Fetches the songs of an anime")
        .add_option(
            CreateCommandOption::new(
                CommandOptionType::String,
                "search",
                "Anilist ID or Search term",
            )
            .required(true),
        )
}
The command fetches data from MyAnimeList and Spotify via the SongFetcher utility at src/commands/songs/fetcher.rs.
