Obsolete ani-cli search function gives no results for anime. What happened? #946
|
I have a old device running Gentoo which has not been updated for roughly a year. Now, it appears that the ani-cli search function gives no results (yes, the device is connected to the internet). I'm out of the loop with this project so I'm curious what changes would have happened in a year for the older script to become inoperable. Thanks in advance. |

Also, I understand that to solve this issue I simply update ani-cli. I'm mostly curious for the sake of learning more about scripting and this project in general. Thanks again. |

This likely happened because thats generally how webscraping works. |

Noted, thank you for your response. |

Webscraping means extracting data from places on the web that don't want it to be extracted.
Depending on what service you're scraping, they will resist by changing things up a lot.
It's a cat and mouse game where scrapers, especially those with only one source, need to adapt frequently.
