  title: AniList API v2 GraphQL OAuth2 API
  version: 2.0.0
  description: 'HTTP surface of the AniList API v2. The primary developer interface is a single GraphQL endpoint at https://graphql.anilist.co. OAuth2 authentication uses the Authorization Code and Implicit grant flows at https://anilist.co. This OpenAPI document captures the HTTP layer: the GraphQL POST endpoint, the OAuth2 authorize endpoint, the token exchange endpoint, and the auth pin redirect. The full GraphQL schema is profiled separately in `graphql/anilist-schema.graphql` (SDL) and `graphql/anilist-introspection.json` (introspection).'
