## Description

Animata is a cutting-edge WordPress plugin designed to simplify anime data management.
Seamlessly fetch and display detailed anime information using the AniList API (unofficial).
Perfect for anime enthusiasts, bloggers, and database creators, Animata offers a
user-friendly solution to enrich your website with accurate and up-to-date anime
details effortlessly.

This free version includes poster, banner, description, status, score, and release
date for anime only.
 Get the Pro version to unlock live search, more fields and
taxonomies — not just for anime, but also for manga, manhwa, and novels.

### Usage

 1. Create a new Anime post and enter the anime title or ID into the “Media Name or
    ID” field.
 2. Press the “Go” button to fetch data from AniList. Fields like banner, poster, status,
    score, and description will be filled automatically.
 3. When you save the post, poster and banner images are automatically downloaded and
    assigned as featured images.

#### Using in Regular Posts

If you’d like to insert an anime card into a regular WordPress post, use the shortcode
like this:
 [animata_mediacontent id=”19″] (Where `19` is the post ID of an anime
post previously created.)

### External Services

integration is required to automatically populate anime information when creating/
updating posts.
