This is a guide that will hopefully leave you acquainted and with a good understanding of how to access the AniList API using JavaScript, and how to access API's that use the OAuth 2.0 standard. Throughout we will build a simple app that will retrieve a data from AniList and display them on the developer console.

Now what is AniList? AniList is a database of anime and manga along with user ratings and a bunch of other handy data! You may be asking yourself, "What is manga?", manga is any kind of cartooning, comics and animation from Japan. The modern manga we know today became the way it is during the end of the Second World War, but manga can be traced back centuries. Manga is extremely popular in Japan, and has a decent following overseas such as here in the United States where “scanlation” groups help translate and upload them to sites for people (such as myself) to enjoy.

Now, without further ado lets begin the tutorial!
